BLACKSBURG, Virginia, Sept. 4 -- Virginia Tech issued the following news:
As bacteria continue to become more resistant to antibiotics, it will be harder to treat bacterial infections, leading to more severe illnesses, longer hospital stays, and higher mortality rates.
As an undergraduate student at Virginia Tech, Megan O'Hara had a unique opportunity to study how bacteria move across surfaces a process known as twitching motility working under the mentorship of Zhaomin . . .
