Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Some bacteria do not defeat antibiotics by evolving resistance right away—they outlast treatment by slipping into hard-to-kill survival states that can reignite infection and complicate recovery.

Researchers use microbial growth assays for many applications, from examining how different conditions affect certain microbial strains to evaluating the efficacy of antimicrobial compounds. Many ...
