Like a firefighter fighting fire with fire, researchers at the U. of I. and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst have found a way to fool a bacteria’s evolutionary machinery into programming its own death. “The basic idea is for an antimicrobial to target something in a bacteria that, in order to gain immunity, would require the bacteria to kill itself through a suicide mutation,” said
Gerard Wong, a Beckman affiliate and professor of materials science and engineering, of physics, and of bioengineering at the U. of I.
