to find strains of antibiotic which
have not yet been discovered, in
order to restart the cycle of disease cured by antibiotic’s leading
to good health. The importance of
antibiotic development is seemingly overlooked by funding programmes, however scientists continue to work excessively to develop
a way for antibiotic’s to function at
the same level of effectiveness as
previous discoveries. The rising of
‘Teixobactin’ holds a good lead for
future development. Although the
rate of development and discovery
of antibiotics is exceedingly slow,
the outcome will prevent bacterial
resistance and eventually, continue
the effectiveness of treatments in
diseases and infections.
