Bacterial hitchhikers can give their hosts super strength
A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical treatment by corralling them into tightly packed groups. The findings introduce a previously unknown avenue through which bacterial infections can become more difficult to treat,...

The findings introduce a previously unknown avenue through which bacterial infections can become more difficult to treat, the researchers say.
