Scientists Develop New Compound That Kills Flesh-Eating And Other Drug-Resistant Bacteria Authored by Marina Zhang via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Twenty years ago, professor Fredrik Almqvist, an organic chemistry professor at Umeå University in Sweden, was asked by his collaborating researchers at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) to design a compound that would prevent urinary tract infections, which are often caused by Gram-negative bacterial infections. (Kateryna Kon/Shutterstock) Almqvist’s team created various compounds that were then screened for their effects. Rather than controlling Gram-negative bacteria adherence, they found some of the compounds were highly effective at killing various Gram-positive…  — Continue at ZeroHedge News : Read More
