Hello!

Welcome to all our new Biology Newsletter subscribers! I've been surprised at the number of new subscribers, as well as by a large increase in traffic to the site. I don't know if this is perhaps because it's summer holiday for many people and there's more free time to read, OR there are perhaps a lot of folks taking summer school courses in biology! Regardless, I'm always happy to make new friends!

This week's article is a follow-up to last week's piece on Antibiotics. In this article, I explore the nature and dangers of the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.


Here's the latest article from the Biology site at BellaOnline.com.
