Could Fluoride be the Solution to Antibiotic Resistance? A New Study Weighs In

The Pharma Data

But scientists at the University of California (UC), Santa Barbara, believe fluoride may offer hope in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. “Essentially, what Justin did was to create a series of DNA instructions you can give to cells that will enable them to survive when fluoride is around,” said O’Malley.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

coli bacteria, as well as lambda bacteriophage, can adapt to the alterations in the composition of their nutrient medium. Gene switches can be regulatory proteins or specific DNA sequences that act to either switch on or off the expression of a gene.

Bacteriophage Therapy: A Promising Solution to Antibiotic Resistance

Advarra

Some have argued bacteria are developing antibiotic resistance faster than we can research, develop, test and approve new antibiotics. One possible solution to antibiotic resistance: bacteriophages (or phages), which are viruses that infect bacteria. These resistance genes are commonly found on small circles of DNA called plasmids.
