Some notoriously difficult to treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to new research from #ILLINOIS using a microfluidic device that more closely duplicates the fluid flow found in the body than standard cultures.

How do bacteria experience nutrient stress in nature? In our new preprint, we study how cells respond to nutrient limitation under flow. We find that in flow, cells can grow on concentrations of glucose 1,000 times lower than in batch cell culture. (1/5)

That looks so cool! Did you use one of those fancy cadworks3D printers?

Do you feel stressed?
Is it one thing or a combination?

Turns out bacteria can’t handle stress either!

Excited to share my first first author paper out now in @currentbiology.bsky.social!

Combining multiple stressors blocks bacterial migration and growth! www.cell.com/current-biol...
