Clovibactin: Superbugs will struggle to evolve resistance to unusual new antibiotic

A possible new antibiotic is extremely efficient towards “superbugs” comparable to MRSA which are proof against many current antibiotics, and kills micro organism in an uncommon manner which means it is going to be extraordinarily tough for resistance to evolve.

The antibiotic, clovibactin, was found in a uncommon bacterium remoted from sandy soil collected in North Carolina. Markus Weingarth at Utrecht College within the Netherlands and his colleagues have been finding out the way it works, with promising outcomes. “The exercise is even higher than for the gold …
