New drug target makes superbugs choke on their own toxic molecules
Researchers have uncovered a new mechanism for killing antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli 2/3

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or “superbugs,” pose one of the most dangerous looming threats to public health. Now, researchers at the University of Georgia have found a new potential weakness in some of the worst strains, which could make them choke on their own toxic molecules.
Researchers find target to fight antibiotic resistance

Significance of molecule in bacteria was previously unknown
Gram-negative bacteria are the bane of health care workers’ existence.
They’re one of the most dangerous organisms to become infected with and one of the hardest to treat. But new research from the University of Georgia suggests a component of bacteria’s cell walls may hold the key to crushing the antibiotic-resistant microbes.
The reason Gram-negative bacteria are difficult to kill is their double cell membranes, which create an almost impenetrable shield of protection. This shield blocks antibiotics from entering, preventing medications from doing their job of destroying the bacteria. Meanwhile, toxic molecules, known as lipopolysaccharides, on the surface of the bacteria’s outer membrane provoke a potentially deadly immune response.
