What is it about?
Understanding a key part of how antibiotics work against bacteria: permeation to their target sites
Featured Image
Why is it important?
Bacterial permeability is an incompletely understood area of microbiology. This review contributes ideas that can be experimentally tested.
Perspectives
The work is relevant to both fundamental microbiology (how external compounds passively diffuse into bacteria) and to medicine (the mechanisms of action of antibiotics)
