POTENTIALLY important findings for developing anti-bacterial drugs have been discovered by German, Swiss and Irish scientists. They identified 39 proteins interacting with bacteria damaging and entering human cells. Until now, only a few proteins had been listed, said a Cell Host and Microbe journal note.
