In
this post, I'm taking an overview of some of the recent initiatives in
the hunt for new antibiotics and antibiotics alternatives.
There are three areas that I'm focusing on:
- The use of robots to screen potential antibiotic alternatives;
- The use of mathematical algorithms to work out which new compounds might make the best drug candidates;
- The development of so-termed 'resistance breakers' - compounds designed to help existing antibiotics to work better.
To read about these innovations, see my post at the website Disease Biology Info.
