Scientists Turn an Old Antibiotic Back Into a Superbug Killer
A small molecule restored vancomycin’s activity against resistant bacteria by blocking a key bacterial enzyme. A trusted antibiotic can lose its power when bacteria evolve ways to resist it. As this problem spreads, infections that were once manageable can become dangerous, while routine surgery and cancer treatment carry greater risks because antibiotics may no longer [...]
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and Scripps Research have developed a groundbreaking approach that restored the effectiveness of the antibiotic vancomycin against resistant bacterial strains. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, reveals how combining molecules can be a promising strategy in the fight against bacterial resistance. Antibiotics and bacterial resistance: Bacterial resistance has become a gro…
