Project Bigger Bug
Project Bigger Bug is a research initiative aimed at understanding and combating a specific threat: the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, often referred to as "superbugs." These bacteria can cause infections that standard antibiotics cannot treat, posing significant public health risks. The project focuses on studying the genetic makeup of these pathogens to identify how they evolve resistance. By exploring innovative treatment options, improving antibiotic use, and enhancing public awareness, Project Bigger Bug seeks to safeguard public health against the increasing challenge posed by these resilient microorganisms.
