Are antivitamins the new antibiotics?
(University of G ö ttingen) Antibiotics are among the most important discoveries of modern medicine and have saved millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin almost 100 years ago. However, bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics which then leaves doctors struggling to find effective treatments. Researchers at the University of G ö ttingen and the MPI for Biophysical Chemistry G ö ttingen have now described a promising new approach involving " antivitamins " to develop new classes of antibiotics. Results were published in Nature Chemical Biology. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
