Naturally Drug-Resistant Cave Bacteria Possible Key to New Antibiotics

April 18, 2012 By Malaria.com Leave a Comment

New research findings suggest the key to finding a whole new variety of antibiotics to treat drug-resistant infections may lie with the resident bacteria in one of the most isolated caves in the world. The U.S. scientists who conducted the study say bacteria collected from Lechuguilla Cave in the state of New Mexico appear to possess an innate resistance to antibiotics, despite never having … [Read more...]
