Exploring the antibiotic potential of cultured 'unculturable' bacteria

Trends Microbiol. 2023 Dec 14:S0966-842X(23)00330-X. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2023.11.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn response to the severe global antibiotic resistance crisis, this forum delves into 'unculturable' bacteria, believed to be a promising source of novel antibiotics. We propose remarkable drug discovery strategies that leverage these bacteria's diversity, aspiring to transform resistance management. The urgent call for new antibiotics accentuates the essentiality of further research.PMID:38102034 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2023.11.012
