Lab-Designed Molecules Offer New Approach to Treating Superbug Infections

A scientific team including researchers from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) says it has made a significant advance against superbugs and their resistance to multiple drugs. The group designed molecules which can disrupt the cellular mechanisms that lead these bacteria to becoming unaffected by conventional antibiotics. The study (“Membrane Microdomain Disassembly Inhibits MRSA Antibiotic Resistance”) appears in Cell.“A number of bacterial cell processes
