Misuse of antibiotics has led to a worrying trend of drug-resistant bacteria in circulation, leading to the emergence of „superbugs“, and it has been singled out as one of the greatest single problems threatening the future of our health.(…)
„Our exciting research showed how the bacteria used the proteins to build up the outer membrane, and also the path and the gate of this machinery. Then we showed if we block the path or the gate of this machinery, the multidrug-resistant bacteria would die. This allowed us to create special drugs to target it.“
