Why Antibiotics Work Better in Flowing Fluid, Say Researchers
A microfluidic device that mimics the body’s fluid flow revealed that some antibiotic-resistant bacteria are actually more vulnerable when in motion.

In static lab tests, Pseudomonas aeruginosa seemed highly resistant but in flowing conditions, antibiotics wiped out the infection more effectively.

This could change how we test antibiotics in the lab and lead to more accurate screening that better reflects real infections in the body.
