The problem of antibiotic resistance poses challenges across many disciplines. One such challenge is to understand the fundamental science of how antibiotics work, and how resistance to them can emerge. This is an area where physicists can make important contributions. Here, we highlight cases where this is already happening, and suggest directions for further physics involvement in antimicrobial research.
抗生素耐药性问题在许多学科中都构成了挑战。其中一个挑战是理解抗生素作用的基础科学，以及对它们的耐药性是如何产生的。这是一个物理学家可以做出重要贡献的领域。在这里，我们强调这种情况已经发生的案例，并提出物理学进一步参与抗菌研究的方向。
