Elongation suppresses rheotaxis and enables microfluidic enrichment of \b{eta}-lactam-resistant bacteria

Ran Tao, Nathaniel C. Esteves, Jay Zhu +1

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) complicates the treatment of diseases including lung and urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are among the most common bacterial infections worldw…
