In a study published in Microbiological Research, scientists from Surrey investigated how different RNS and ROS ratios affect harmful bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus ...

The balance between two types of molecules -- reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) -- plays a crucial role in tackling drug-resistant bacteria, according to a new study.

But when ROS dominates, it's like just cutting the weeds at the surface; the bacteria may look weaker at first, but they can ...

RNS is like pulling weeds out by the roots – it removes them completely, preventing regrowth. But when ROS dominates, it's like just cutting the weeds at the surface; the bacteria may look weaker at ...
