"Promising New Antibiotic Class Emerges in Battle Against Drug-Resistant Superbugs"

Scientists have discovered a new class of antibiotic named Zosurabalpin, which has proven effective against the drug-resistant superbug CRAB (Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii) in lab tests and mouse models. CRAB is a critical pathogen with a high mortality rate, and the new antibiotic works by disrupting the bacteria's protective membrane. While promising, Zosurabalpin's effectiveness in humans has yet to be confirmed through clinical trials. This breakthrough could potentially address the growing global health threat of antimicrobial resistance, which causes over 1 million deaths annually.
