Hormonal steroids found to boost drug resistance in gonorrhea bacteria
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers performed cellular, biochemical, and structural analyses to assess the multiple transferable resistance repressor (MtrR) binding and activation by male and female steroidal hormones, physiologically significant molecules interacting with gonococcal organisms during infection. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a gram-negative diplococcus that causes millions of diseases globally, including those […]
