                      The paper Hesketh-Best et al. (2023) in FEMS Microbes describes the discovery and characterisation of new bacteria with antibacterial activity. Lead author Mathew Upton explains in the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) #BehindThePaper interview which approaches are needed to combat antimicrobial resistance and what resources are available to policymakers.

                      Hesketh-Best, P. J., January, G. G., Koch, M. J., Warburton, P. J., Howell, K. L., & Upton, M. (2023). Whole genomes of deep-sea sponge-associated bacteria exhibit high novel natural product potential. FEMS Microbes. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/femsmc/xtad005
