New antibiotics are urgently needed in the fight against multi-resistant bacteria. The recently discovered darobactin is a potential candidate with resistance-breaking properties. This substance shows very good antimicrobial activity against some of the most problematic hospital germs. However, so far darobactin could only be produced in relatively small quantities, making detailed investigation and further development difficult. A team led by Dr Sebastian Groß from the Department of Microbial Natural Products at the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) in Saarbrücken has now addressed this problem. The scientists published their results in the journal Chemical Science.

Konzept für die nachhaltige Entdeckung und Entwicklung neuer Antibiotika

Increasingly insensitive to standard drugs: Multi-resistant pathogens are spreading worldwide and even in the near future could threaten the safe treatment of deadly infectious diseases. However, the urgent demand for new antimicrobial agents is offset by a glaring lack of investment into their research. In an article in Nature Reviews Chemistry, the international research alliance IRAADD, which is coordinated by HZI researcher and HIPS director Prof Rolf Müller, presents forward-looking strategies that could be used to solve the problem. Scientists at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) are playing a leading role.

The oral cavity germ Fusobacterium nucleatum is known to speed up the growth of human carcinomas, for example in the intestine or breast. In a joint study, the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI), a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), and the Julius Maximilians University (JMU) in Würzburg, Germany, have now mapped the RNA molecules of five clinically relevant strains of this adaptable bacterium. The findings could help develop new therapies for various cancers. The results of the research have been published in the journal Nature Microbiology.
