Brief description The rise of drug-resistant superbugs is a major healthcare concern in hospitals across the world. New antibiotics are needed to combat infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to current drugs. One collaborative team of researchers is addressing the issue. They have discovered a new compound effective against Staphylococcus aureus, the cause of Golden Staph. Using a combination of scientific disciplines the team are now developing this compound into a new antibiotic.
