    Powerful new antibiotic discovered. Just in time to save the World?

    It kills strains of bacteria resistent to all known antibiotics. Scientists in the USA have been searching for a new treatment for a bacterium that is infecting US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, causing serious infections in the lungs, blood, and brain.



    One of the most powerful antibiotics ever has just been discovered
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    If they can develop that into a treatment that works in Humans, then that is a huge game changer. That's awesome news.

    This all came from a classic piece of lateral thinking. The premise was simple. It can take a decade of lab work and clinical trials before a new drug comes on the market. Why not investigate if drugs already shown to be safe for human consumption can be repurposed ?. Central to the discovery is the Drug Repurposing Hub, run by MIT's Broad institute. [ Massachusetts Institute of Technology.]

    50 new cancer drugs discovered overnight – that already exist
