During bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, bacteria enter human cells posing a challenge for treatment, as antibiotics must reach and enter all infected cells in order to be effective. If researchers could select for or develop more effective antibiotics based on where they reach, this may reduce the length of treatment needed, which in turn could reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance developing.
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute and the University of Western Australia have developed a new imaging method to see where in the infected tissues and in the cells, an antibiotic given to treat tuberculosis had reached the bacteria. The scientists are continuing to work on the method, adapting it for other types of antibiotic and to image multiple antibiotics at the same time.
