Scientists Develop a Fatty 'Kryptonite' to Defeat Multidrug-Resistant 'Super Bugs', McMaster University Study
"Super bugs," which can cause wide-spread disease and may be resistant to most, if not all, conventional antibiotics, still have their weaknesses. A team of Canadian scientists discovered that specific mixtures of antimicrobial agents presented in lipid (fatty) mixtures can significantly boost the effectiveness of those agents to kill the resistant bacteria.
