Title Monash researchers built own microscope to decipher superbugs Media name/outlet labonline Country/Territory Australia Date 6/06/18 Description A hand-made super-microscope has enabled Monash researchers to decipher how bacteria are able to build a wall against the immune system.
It is “a big step in knowing how these bacteria form a wall against the immune system — and also a big step towards stopping the superbugs in their tracks,” according to Professor Trevor Lithgow from the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute.URL https://www.labonline.com.au/content/analytical-instrumentation/news/monash-researchers-built-own-microscope-to-decipher-superbugs-352022078 Persons Sachith Dilshan Gunasinghe Title Scientists built own microscope to decipher 'superbugs' Media name/outlet ScienceDaily Country/Territory Australia Date 29/05/18 Description A handmade super-microscope -- capable of seeing the actual building blocks of a bacterial cell wall -- has helped researchers decipher how bacteria are able to literally build a wall against the immune system, leading to often deadly disease. This will provide researchers with key knowledge to disarm 'superbug' resistance to the immune system.
