New Achilles Heel Exposed In Antibiotioc Resistance

Finally, some good news:

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a vulnerability in drug-resistant bacteria: zinc—or a lack thereof. Depriving bacteria of certain nutrients can cause important physiological changes, rendering them vulnerable to antibiotics, including those they once resisted. This new study revealed that zinc plays a vital role in how some of the most dangerous bacteria resist antibiotics. It opens the door to new clinical utility for old drugs, while also cementing nutrient stress as a viable path to new treatment options for drug-resistant bacteria.
