McMaster UniversitySummary:A new group of antibiotics with a unique approach to attacking bacteria has been discovered.
The newly-found corbomycin and the lesser-known complestatin have a never-before-seen way to kill bacteria, which is achieved by blocking the function of the bacterial cell wall. The discovery comes from a family of antibiotics called glycopeptides that are produced by soil bacteria.

The researchers also demonstrated in mice that these new antibiotics can block infections caused by the drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus which is a group of bacteria that can cause many serious infections.

Sounds like a victory to microworld.200212131523_1_540x360.jpgwooo
