Differences make a difference: from one cell to a world of individuality
In our last article, we explored how low-level exposure to antibiotics in the environment is affecting the emergence of resistance genes in Salmonella. Here, we explore how single-cell genomics can elevate our understanding of how AMR arises - and equip us with the knowledge to tackle this existential threat.
