Medical
researchers have developed a new approach to improving the effectiveness of
antibiotics in bacterial infections. The study outlines ways to controlling
antibiotic resistance through targeted gene interactions.
The
study showed that this happens when the bacterium exhibits certain functional
disorders. The researchers identified the areas of membrane transport and
chaperones, which play a decisive role in the error-free production of
proteins. If these functions are not fully intact in the bacterium, an antibiotic
can attack these areas much more effectively and improve its effectiveness in
the long term. In the future, these molecular targets may help to improve
antibiotics.
