#mevosky #microsky if you’re tracking growth in 96/384-well plates and only need OD/incubation/shaking, what plate readers are you actually happy with? Looking for cheap but reliable, no-nonsense instruments for yeast/bacteria kinetics. What would you buy again, and what would you avoid? Thanks

🚨 Our latest research in @naturecomms.bsky.social shows a promising strategy for less resistance-prone #antibiotics. For details, see the thread below and read the paper “Exploring the principles behind antibiotics with limited resistance” here: #MEvoSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Exploring the principles behind antibiotics with limited resistance - Nature Communications
This study shows that only those dual-targeting antibiotics limit resistance in Gram-negative pathogens that also target the membrane of the bacteria. This mechanism provides a basis for designing fut...

Easily one of the more depressing scientific papers I've read this week - researchers found that Staph bacteria readily developed resistance to antibiotics in the development pipeline thanks to mutations already present in the population.
