New tests find more resistant bacteria

Science Notes: CRISPR technology being used to identify which bacteria are most abundant

New research from the University of Georgia shows there may be more antimicrobial-resistant salmonella in food animals than scientists previously thought. Using technology she developed, UGA researcher Nikki Shariat and Amy Siceloff, a first-year doctoral student in UGA’s Department of Microbiology, found that traditional culturing methods used to test livestock for problematic bacteria often miss […] Read more
