Bacteria usually benefit human health | Bacteria usually benefit human health, but if they are a susceptible host, they can become pathogenic and cause infection and disease. This is happening at a faster rate as the pathogens become more resistant to antibiotics as time passes and the pharmaceutical industry neglects to create new antimicrobials that could combat the growing virulence of these resistant pathogens. By studying Kgp, scientists hope to find a suitable inhibitor for this protein. | ||
