Discovery could help explain why certain infections are hard to get rid of

A new study led by researchers at University of Utah Health details a novel mechanism that infectious bacteria use to quickly adjust to environmental stress. The discovery could help explain why certain types of common infections - such as urinary tract and bloodstream infections like sepsis- are hard to get rid of.
