Unexpected E. coli response may complicate peptide-based antibiotic combinations
A group of Cornell College students and their professor found surprising results in research on antimicrobial peptides, which are being studied as a method of combating antibiotic resistance. These peptides, part of the innate immune system, could be used to kill bacteria on their own or to create channels for other antibacterial drugs to enter bacteria.
An antibiotic used for decades could regain some of its efficacy against certain resistant bacteria. Researchers have associated vancomycin with a small molecule called pghi-4. This combination has re-established the drug's action against resistant enterococci, which is a...
