Combine concern over salmonella food poisoning, fear that the arsenal of antibiotics may be losing its potency, and positive research over the potential of a genetic solution -- and a study published on Friday in the journal Science was bound to catch attention. The work of researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara, the study revealed that removing or inactivating a gene called DAM in a certain strain of salmonella disabled the bacteria?s ability to cause disease in mice.

...punk's nose, shoots his rival's face off through a pillow) and takes it (gets punched, switch-bladed, shot and, ick, toe-hammered). The Matrix, the first 1999 film to hit $100 million at the box office, has more kung fu than gun fu but still brandishes an arsenal of firepower in its tale of outsiders against the Internet droids...
