Until now it had been thought that antibiotics kill bacteria or stop them growing.
Antibiotics can help some bacteria survive for longer, new research suggests.
They found that some bacteria did not grow in the laboratory, until they were treated with antibiotics. In the research funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, the team found that certain antibiotics can alleviate stress and help prevent the decline of bacterial populations when they are dying out.
They found that antibiotics targeting ribosomes – factories that help cells make protein from DNA – slowed bacteria down when they were growing.
