A group of researchers from the United States to make a breakthrough to produce 25 kinds of new antibiotics. The findings are the first since the last time scientists create variants of antibiotics in 1987 ago.
Of the 25 types of new antibiotics, one variant called teixobactin touted promise as toxic to the bacteria, but not for the body of mammals.
Even when tested in mice, could quell teixobactin Staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin.
Researchers Northeastern University in Boston, USA, it is now necessary to examine the human antibiotics. Nevertheless, they believe the efficacy teixobactin will last for years and bacteria are not immune to it.
"Essentially, it evolved into a type of antibiotic antibiotics that can not be resisted. We have never seen anything like this. There are a variety of different tricks in it that minimize resistance, "said Professor Kim Lewis, head of the research team.
The findings of the researchers from the Northeastern University has published the scientific journal Nature and praised a number of experts from various parts of the world, one of which Dr. James Mason of King's College in London.
According to him, groundbreaking researchers from Northeastern University is amazing. But it is too early to conclude that the antibiotics that they find to be effective in the years to come.
He then refers to the fact that the efficacy of antibiotics will fade over time.
The discovery of antibiotics is growing rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s. However, many years later, the number of microbes resistant to antibiotics. A concrete example is vancomycin were discovered in the 1950s, but in the late 1980s bacterial immunity.
