He also hinted at a new class of synthetic antibiotics that is in current development at Roche. Hopefully there are many more new antibiotics in the future. (7/7)

Hidden antibiotics in river fish spark new food safety fears https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260321012638.htm

Antibiotics are accumulating in a major Brazilian river, especially during the dry season when pollution becomes more concentrated. Scientists even detected a banned drug inside fish sold for food, raising concerns about human exposure. A common aquatic plant showed promise in removing these chemicals from water—but it also altered how fish absorb them, creating unexpected risks.
'Predators that just run in and grab, stab and kill': The deep cave #bacteria resistant to modern #medicine
Ancient bacteria, trapped in caves for millions of years, live in a miniature world of terror. Their only #food source is each other. The survival tactics they develop make them resistant to almost all #antibiotics. Now scientists hope to use their tricks to inspire new #drugs and treatments.
