"The results won’t be finalized or peer-reviewed for another year, but what Abou Fayad said he was witnessing was striking. The Acinetobacter was absorbing small particles of heavy metals and then developing a gene that constructed a pump within the bacteria — an e-flux pump — that evacuated the heavy metals. Because heavy metals and antibiotics resemble one another, that same pump worked to expel antibiotics. In other words, the microbe was learning how to flush out toxins. And then it was sharing its recipe with similar bacteria." [1]
