The best thing so far was finding that garlic can turn off some genes in bacteria that mean that they can talk to each other. Theoretically this should make them less harmful and more susceptible to anitbiotics. This was realy important because it has opened up a lot of possiblities to investigate in future. I’m going to Spain tomorrow to tell everyone else about it.
