It should now be possible to develop drugs against the repressor that will stop bacterial virulence. Becoming resistant to these drugs will be very difficult, since the bacteria aren't actually killed by it, just prevented from being pathogenic. I am seeing more news about gene therapy. This is a rapidly evolving field that is going to have a major impact on human health. Here are some recent reports.
Gene therapy helps to treat a heart problems in rat study.
This could eventually lead to a very effective treatment. Europeans are terrified of genetically engineered plants. The uproar over Monsanto's Roundup Ready soya is the latest example. We finally know why aspirin reduces inflammation . This should lead to new.
