RM AR 001: Sub-Cellular Composition Mapping of Single Bacterium by Extreme Ultraviolet Laser
Introduction: The first proposed use of this technology will be to analyze individual bacilli in order to try to characterize the chemical phenotype of antibiotic resistant persistors in B. pseudomallei and M. tuberculosis clonal populations and identify potential drug targets in this phenotype.
