Description: Mutations in bacteria—changes in their DNA—can lead to new, more dangerous strains. Researchers have developed a technique to monitor these mutations in real time. Using the technology, scientists found that mutations occur at a steady, regular rate, with 1% of these mutations leading to potentially deadly changes.
