Antimicrobial resistance (AMR),
when pathogens no longer respond to existing drugs
– earning them the nickname superbugs –
is a growing problem that kills
more than a million people a year.
Many of them are children in poorer countries.

antibiotic > Zosurabalpin
UK
Scientists have discovered
an entirely new class of antibiotic
that appears to kill one of three bacteria
considered to pose the greatest threat
to human health
because of their extensive drug-resistance.
Zosurabalpin defeated
highly drug-resistant strains
of Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (Crab)
in mouse models of pneumonia and sepsis,
and was being tested in human trials.
Crab is classified as a priority 1 critical pathogen
by the World Health Organization,
alongside two other drug-resistant forms of bacteria
– Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacteriaceae.
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/jan/03

These deadly new strains of bacteria
are causing untreatable blood infections,
fatal pneumonia,
relentless urinary tract infections,
gangrenous wounds
and terminal cases of sepsis,
among other conditions.
