Inside our bodies, there's a microscopic war taking place between thousands of species of bacteria competing for food and space. The researchers studied how some species keep their rivals away, and discovered that a nostril-dwelling bacterium, x, was producing an anti-biotic.
Tests published in the journal, Nature, show the drug can kill superbugs, including MRSA. New anti-biotics are desperately needed as doctors struggle with the growing threats of untreatable infections. The last new class of the drugs to reach patients was developed decades ago. The study shows own bodies may be a rich source of new drugs.
