Article Synopsis
- Scientists are worried about a bacteria called Staphylococcus equorum that can resist many medicines because it has special genes.
- They studied one specific sample of this bacteria that has two unique pieces of DNA called plasmids that help it resist medicine.
- The findings show that these plasmids also have genes that help the bacteria survive against heavy metals, making it a bigger threat to health that needs to be monitored closely.
