HHMI Bulletin Nov 2010 Sarah C.P. Williams	A Study on Antibiotic Resistance Shows That Bacteria Aren't Just Out To Help Themselves Microbes that are resistant to the drug protect their weaker kin in the colony, HHMI researchers have found. The discovery upends traditional notions of antibiotic resistance and offers a target for new drugs against bacterial infections.
Chemistry World January 8, 2015 Matthew Gunther	New antibiotic could treat infection while dodging resistance problems A new antibiotic that can kill life-threatening bacteria -- without them appearing to be able to develop resistance to the drug -- has been discovered by a team of scientists.
