antibiotik baru ditemukan yang membunuh patogen tanpa perlawanan
Selama bertahun-tahun , ketahanan patogen ' terhadap antibiotik telah menempatkan mereka selangkah lebih maju dari para peneliti , yang menyebabkan krisis kesehatan masyarakat . Tapi sekarang para ilmuwan telah menemukan antibiotik baru yang menghilangkan patogen tanpa menemui perlawanan yang terdeteksi - sebuah temuan yang menantang keyakinan ilmiah lama dan janji besar untuk mengobati infeksi kronis seperti tuberkulosis dan yang disebabkan oleh MRSA .....read more
Newly discovered
antibiotic kills pathogens without resistance

Summary:
For years, pathogens'
resistance to antibiotics has put them one step ahead of researchers, which
is causing a public health crisis. But now scientists have discovered a new
antibiotic that eliminates pathogens without encountering any detectable
resistance -- a finding that challenges long-held scientific beliefs and
holds great promise for treating chronic infections like tuberculosis and
those caused by MRSA.

for years, pathogens'
resistance to antibiotics has put them one step ahead of researchers, which
is causing a public health crisis, according to University Distinguished
Professor Kim Lewis. But in new research, Lewis and his colleagues present a
newly discovered antibiotic that eliminates pathogens without encountering
any detectable resistance -- a finding that challenges long-held scientific beliefs and holds great
promise for treating chronic infections like tuberculosis and those caused
by MRSA.
The research, which is making headlines around the world and receiving
applause from the science community, was published Wednesday in the
journal Nature.
Northeastern researchers' pioneering work to develop a novel method for
growing uncultured bacteria led to the discovery of the antibiotic, called
teixobactin, and Lewis' lab played a key role in analyzing and testing the compound
for resistance from pathogens. Lewis, who is the paper's lead author, said
this marks the first discovery of an antibiotic to which resistance by mutations
of pathogens have not been identified.
Lewis and Northeastern biology professor Slava Epstein co-authored the paper with colleagues from
the University of Bonn in Germany, NovoBiotic Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and Selcia Limited in the United Kingdom.
The research team says teixobactin's discovery presents a promising new
opportunity to treat chronic infections caused by staphylococcus aureus,
or MSRA, that are highly resistant to antibiotics, as well as tuberculosis,
which involves a combination of therapies with negative side effects.
The screening of soil microorganisms has produced most antibiotics, but
only 1 percent of them will grow in the lab, and this limited resource was
overmined in the 1960s, Lewis explained. He and Epstein spent years seeking to
address this problem by tapping into a new source of antibiotics beyond those
created by synthetic means: uncultured bacteria, which make up 99 percent
of all species in external environments. They developed a novel method for
growing uncultured bacteria in their natural environment, which led to the
founding of NovoBiotic. Their approach involves the iChip, a miniature
device Epstein's team created that can isolate and help grow single cells in
their natural environment and thereby provides researchers with much
improved access to uncultured bacteria. NovoBiotic has since assembled
about 50,000 strains of uncultured bacteria and discovered 25 new antibiotics,
of which teixobactin is the latest and most interesting, Lewis said.
.....................
The antibiotic was discovered during a routine screening for antimicrobial
material using this method. Lewis then tested the compound for resistance
development and did not find mutant MSRA or Mycobacterium tuberculosis
resistant to teixobactin, which was found to block several different targets
in the cell wall synthesis pathway.
Antibiotik ini ditemukan selama pemeriksaan rutin untuk bahan antimikroba
menggunakan metode ini . Lewis kemudian menguji senyawa untuk pengembangan ketahanan
dan tidak menemukan MSRA mutan atau Mycobacterium tuberculosis
resistant terhadap teixobactin , yang ditemukan untuk memblokir beberapa target yang berbeda
di dinding sel jalur sintesis .

"Our impression is that nature produced a compound that evolved to be free of resistance," Lewis said. "This challenges the dogma that we've operated under that bacteria will always develop resistance. Well, maybe not in this case."Gerard Wright, a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences at McMaster University and who was not involved in this research, examined the team's work in a separate article for Nature published in concert with the new research paper. In his article, Wright noted that while it remains to be seen whether other mechanisms for resistance against teixobactin exist in the environment, the team's work could lead to identifying "other 'resistance-light' antibiotics.""(The researchers') work offers hope that innovation and creativity can combine to solve the antibiotics crisis," Wright wrote.Going forward, the research team hopes to develop teixobactin into a drug.In 2013, Lewis revealed groundbreaking research in a separate paper published byNature that presented a novel approach to treat and eliminate MRSA -- the so-called "superbug" that infects 1 million Americans annually. Lewis and his team discovered a way to destroy the dormant persister cells, which are key to the success of chronic infections caused by MRSA.Lewis said this latest research lays new ground to advance his innovative work on treating MRSA and other chronic infections.
