Meanwhile... while trying to protect us from MRSA...
Researchers who are trying to discover new antibiotics are now focusing on novel compounds. One of the compounds, Streptomyces, can be found in soil and in insect microbiomes. A recent study showed that Streptomyces from insects inhibits antimicrobial-resistant pathogens more than soil Streptomyces. The study also described cyphomycin, a new molecule active against multidrug resistant fungal pathogens.
