Researchers discovered a new, potent antibiotic intermediate called pre-methylenomycin C lactone in the bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor, which is over 100 times more effective against resistant Gram-positive bacteria like MRSA and VRE, with no detected resistance development, offering promising potential in combating antimicrobial resistance.
Scientists from the University of Zurich and Spexis have developed a new class of antibiotics by re-engineering the chemical structure of a natural peptide called thanatin. The synthetic peptides have shown effectiveness, safety, and resistance to bacterial immunity in mice tests, offering potential for combating resistant bacteria. With the urgent need for new antibiotics to address antibiotic-resistant bacteria, this research brings hope for the development of a novel type of antibiotic that can target and treat resistant strains.
