A team of scientists discovered a hidden antibiotic 100 times stronger than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA.
The molecule had been overlooked for decades in a familiar bacterium.
It shows no signs of resistance so far, offering hope in the fight against drug-resistant infections and paving the way for new approaches to antibiotic discovery.

The similarity to the climate crisis is amazing - robust scientific research has identified a serious, life threatening problem - as well as what is needed to address that problem. But $€₱₹¥£ are flowing from customers who are unaware of the problem, and are seduced by marketing messages - in movies, TV shows, social media, and explicit advertisements. And there is huge profit from practices that are already resulting in injuries, illnesses and death, as well as economic losses. And

One of the things that the US government advice about "Tylenol" has shown, is how conditioned America is in using brand names for medication.
I was watching a movie yesterday where someone mentioned "Bacitracin", and I had to look it up. The UK equivalent is "an antibiotic" (or more usually "an antiseptic" for cleaning wounds. Not even Dettol or Savlon are at the level of a generic term).
