Human immune cells use copper to fight invading pathogens. Some microorganisms, in turn, have evolved ways to take up copper and incorporate it into biological molecules, either as a way to absorb copper for nutrition or to neutralize its toxic effects.</p> November 17, 2021 - 11:26am Andy Fell /blog/how-bacteria-makes-copper-antibiotic
