Scientists find new powerful antibiotic in human nose


BERLIN -- Scientists searching for new antibiotics to cure hard-to-treat infections have found an effective bacteria in the human nose.

According to a report published in the scientific journal Nature on Wednesday, a group of German researchers have discovered a bacteria called "Staphylococcus lugdunensis". It can produce a chemical called "hugdunin", which is bactericidal against major pathogens.

The most important characteristic of the chemical is that it wouldn't develop a resistance in the bugs that it kills with repeated use, the researchers from the University of Tubingen in Germany pointed out.

Killing so-called "superbugs," which are strong pathogens with a resistance to most antibiotics currently in use, is increasingly difficult as the more antibiotics we use, the more resistance those targeted pathogens will develop, the scientists warned.

Superbugs cause an estimated 700,000 deaths every year, according to CNN.

The new finding holds a promising future in the fight against bugs, however, some experts wrote in a related article that the application of the nose-dwelling antibiotics will be difficult to commercialize because it could harm human cells as a side effect. (PNA/Xinhua)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
