Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬Ancient #bacteria strain discovered in ice cave is resistant to some modern #antibiotics
Analysis of Psychrobacter SC65A.3 genome revealed 11 genes potentially able to kill or stop growth of other bacteria, fungi and viruses. "Team in Romania found this particular bug had resistance to 10 reasonably advanced synthetic antibiotics."
"But what they report as well is that it secreted molecules that were able to kill a variety of already resistant, harmful bacteria."
