When humans develop a new therapy to fight potentially dangerous bacteria, they, in turn, might be able to generate new strategies to counteract our medicines. Maria explains how the evolution of the bacterial defence mechanisms occurs and how much we should worry about. In the second part of the interview, she describes her transition from a well established laboratory research job in the private sector to a PhD in academia.
