CSUF researchers working on weapon against ‘superbug’ infections

With antibiotic resistance a global public health threat, Cal State Fullerton researchers have found a possible solution. Their latest published research results show that the use of zinc-containing compounds, along with existing antibiotics, is a novel strategy to overcome “superbug” infections.
This work continues the 2014 pioneering discovery by CSUF scientist Marcelo E. Tolmasky and his students who showed, for the first time, that zinc ions bound to chemicals — called iono
