a novel antibiotic with the help of computer models of bacterial gene products capable of killing even bacteria resistant to other antibiotics.

But that’s not all! The new molecule also decreased the amount of drug-resistant bacteria in mice with pneumonia or urinary tract infections to pre-infection levels or below. Essentially, it performed as well as or better than existing antibiotics at similar doses. These results indicate that fabimycin could one day be a promising treatment for stubborn difficult-to-tackle infections.
