Antibiotic resistance, which happens when bacteria that cause illness no longer respond to treatments, might lead to a projected 10 million deaths annually worldwide by 2050.

Using the Canadian Light Source, McGill University researchers have studied how enzymes from bacterial pathogens could make them antibiotic-resistant to help develop new drugs.

Our CMCF beamline has helped the team gather higher-resolution data of smaller samples, which could make it easier to develop better treatments for serious infections.
