New antibiotic design could help treat drug-resistant infections
Researchers at King's College London have developed a new antibiotic design approach called 'Efflux Resistance Breaker' (ERB). By integrating resistance-breaking properties directly into the antibiotic molecule, the design prevents bacteria from pumping the drug out of their cells.
Why it matters
This innovation could be a critical breakthrough in addressing the global crisis of antimicrobial resistance, potentially reviving the effectiveness of existing and future antibiotics.
