A DNA-based therapy could slash the development time of new drugs to combat antibiotic resistant superbugs

Many bacteria produce toxins that can threaten human health, however new research into how bacteria secrete these substances is giving clues as to how scientists could harness these processes to produce biopharmaceuticals

A team of scientists led by Professor Tony Maxwell have developed a new technique that will help search for new anti-cancer and anti-bacterial drugs more quickly and accurately

Antibiotic resistance is a major problem worldwide and there is an urgent need for new antibiotics to be developed
