Miami researchers optimize new technique for evaluating potential drugs to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria
"Because metallo-beta-lactamases (which render many clinical strains of bacteria resistant to all penicillin-like antibiotics) contain two metal ions we are able to use a variety of spectroscopic techniques to study them," said Caitlyn Thomas, doctoral candidate in the lab of Michael Crowder.
