Invade to evade: E.  coli's gutsy survival strategies

Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Mar 13;32(3):300-301. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.02.006.ABSTRACTAntibiotic resistance is often studied in vitro, limiting the understanding of in vivo mechanisms that affect antibiotic treatment. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Rodrigues et al. show that specific mutations allow bacteria to invade intestinal cells in a mouse model, thereby evading antibiotic treatment.PMID:38484709 | DOI:10.1016/j.chom.2024.02.006
