New #antibiotic that kills #drugresistant #bacteria discovered in technician’s #garden
It targets bacteria’s protein-making factory, the #ribosome, in a way that other antibiotic drugs don’t. Ribosome is an attractive antibiotic target because bacteria don’t easily develop resistance to #drugs targeting the structure. In studies, #lariocidin slowed the growth of a range of common bacterial #pathogens, including many multidrug-resistant strains.
