Thursday, June 9, 2005 -- The overuse of antibiotics in recent decades has created resistant strains of bacteria that often make the drugs must less effective in fighting infections. But a promising experimental method for controlling bacterial activity without antibiotics, by interfering with their communication process, has been developed by a young Hebrew University researcher.

For his work, doctoral student Adel Jabbour was presented ...
