@careiiserpune की VOICE फ़ेलोशिप में वैज्ञानिकों और ज़मीनी स्तर पर काम कर रहे पत्रकारों के बीच सीखने-साझा करने का शानदार सिलसिला जारी है। इस दौरान Nishad Matange ने फ़ेलोज़ के साथ बैक्टीरिया और वायरस जैसे महत्वपूर्ण बायोलॉजिकल विषयों पर बेहद उपयोगी चर्चा की। जानकारी, संवाद और सीखने-सिखाने से भरपूर यह एक शानदार सेशन रहा। @nutshal @JamwalNidhi

#IntheNews In another feature, the Indian Express published the work of Dr @NMatange! His team’s study reveals how E. coli survives antibiotics by temporarily copying key genes, buying time to evolve permanent resistance. 🔗: tinyurl.com/2r6tukkf

New research in #GENETICS from @NMatange and colleagues showcases canonical and non-canonical strategies employed by #Ecoli to survive in low levels of spectinomycin that facilitate genetic adaptation for acquiring antibiotic resistance. Read more: buff.ly/JDGOm41

Not all persister bacteria are dormant! 🦠 Single-cell imaging of over a million #EColi shows that many antibiotic-resistant persisters were actively growing before drug exposure. Persistence appears to be more dynamic than once thought. elifesciences.org/articles/7…
