Researchers found examples of a previously unknown antibiotic molecule in soil samples collected from a colleague's garden.

A new molecule, lariocidin, offers hope in the fight against antimicrobial resistance, killing drug-resistant bacteria with a novel mode of action.

Lariocidin binds directly to a bacterium's protein synthesis machinery in a completely new way, inhibiting its ability to grow and survive. "This is a new molecule with a new mode of action ...
