It was possible to stop the infection by depriving the bacteria
Bacteria, despite primitiveness, can "coordinate actions." And this TREPRESS can be violated by preventing the development of infection. A new way to combat infections, based on a violation of the ability of bacteria to exchange chemical signals, was proposed by Dutch scientists. Depriving microorganisms the ability to communicate, biologists suppressed their growth. For their research, scientists from the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) chose a pungent stick.
