Reviving Vancomycin: Groundbreaking Strategy Shows Promise Against Resistant Bacteria
Breakthrough in Antibiotic Resistance: Targeting Bacterial Enzymes How the Study Uncovered a New Approach Antibiotic resistance, a global health crisis linked to 4.7 million deaths in 2019, has seen a critical breakthrough. Researchers at Scripps Research discovered that disabling a bacterial enzyme called secreted antigen A (SagA) makes vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) vulnerable to vancomycin. … Read more
