With the help of super-resolution microscopy, new research at University of Toronto Mississauga could help stop "superbugs" in their tracks. The Milstein Lab is taking a very close look at bacterial cells in hopes of figuring out how to stop the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria known as CRE or carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Dubbed the "nightmare bacteria," CRE infections are immune to even the strongest antibiotics and have the ability to transfer that drug resistance to other bacteria.
