A New Antibiotic Can Kill Even Drug-Resistant Bacteria

[We Never Know]

We have to keep advancing to stay ahead in the germ/virus game.

Antibiotic-resistant pathogens could be defeated with the assistance of a synthetic antibiotic

"A brand-new antibiotic that was developed at The Rockefeller University using computational models of bacterial gene products appears to kill even bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics. According to a study published in the journal Science, the drug, known as cilagicin, is effective in mice and employs a novel mechanism to combat MRSA, C. diff, and numerous other dangerous infections.

The findings imply that computer models may be used to develop a new class of antibiotics. “This isn’t just a cool new molecule, it’s a validation of a novel approach to drug discovery,” says Rockefeller’s Sean F. Brady. “This study is an example of computational biology, genetic sequencing, and synthetic chemistry coming together to unlock the secrets of bacterial evolution.”

.....for now and the stupid humans who never learn will keep doing the same failed thing and continue to extremely and heavily over relly on and over use antibiotics, inevitably leading us back to this same situation.

Synthetic antibiotics can be easily tweeked.
But yes as usual it will be over used.

Agreed.

I have noticed that GPs around here are far more reluctant to prescribe antibiotics nowadays though.

Interesting. The key point seems to be that there are numerous, so far untapped, types of bacteria that can't be cultured in the lab which have antibiotic defences against rival bacteria.The researchers have found they can work out the chemistry of these antibiotics by analysing the DNA sequences in the bacterium that code for their production, i.e. without growing them in the lab. So that can add to the armoury.

I wonder if anyone will be able to afford to use them. They will be heavily patented ands priced accordingly.
What ever they actually cost to produce.

Of course they might turn out to attack our brains
and turn us all into republican Zombies.
