🦠Pseudomonas aeruginosa est l’une des 5⃣ #bactéries les plus mortelles au🌍
Pour la 1⃣re fois un mécanisme complexe d’#antibiorésistance et de virulence a pu être décrit par une équipe @IrsdDe

💡Cette découverte majeure offre de nouvelles perspectives pour développer des thérapies capables de réduire la menace que représentent ces bactéries infectieuses➡️https://t.co/FX9VaYjkM2

Cell shape affects bacterial colony growth under physical confinement:

Cocci -> compact spherical colonies
Rods -> elongated colonies with increased access to nutrients
