Scientists have discovered a new antibiotic called Darobactin, produced by bacteria living inside soil-dwelling nematodes. This compound targets Gram-negative bacteria by binding to a previously unexploited protein on their outer…
Scientists exploring the hyper-arid Atacama Desert have discovered rare soil bacteria capable of producing previously unknown antimicrobial compounds. These microbes thrive in extreme conditions and offer a potential new source…
A collaborative study between Roche and Harvard University has led to the discovery of Zosurabalpin, a new antibiotic class that effectively kills carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. The drug works by inhibiting…
Scientists in Costa Rica have discovered that the dense fur of two-fingered and three-fingered sloths hosts a diverse ecosystem of microbes that produce potent antibiotic compounds. These findings suggest that…
Scientists on an Arctic expedition have discovered a novel antibiotic compound produced by deep-sea actinobacteria. This molecule effectively inhibits the virulence of Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli without damaging human…
Researchers have utilized explainable deep learning to discover a new class of antibiotics capable of killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This breakthrough marks one of the first times AI has…
Scientists have discovered a new antibiotic candidate called Cyphomycin within the microbiome of fungus-growing ants in the Amazon rainforest. The compound is produced by symbiotic bacteria to protect the ants'…
Scientists have identified a new antibiotic called Clovibactin, isolated from previously unculturable soil bacteria using innovative iCHIP technology. This compound employs a unique mechanism to destroy drug-resistant pathogens by binding…
