...could make it impossible for the antibiotic to stick to its target. It's something like the protect-the-perimete r strategy used by defenders of ramparts on medieval fortresses.

By deleting a single gene, an English-French research team announced, certain strains of the TB germ have protected themselves from isoniazid, currently the major weapon against this resurgent disease...
