The researchers claim that they discover A new category of antibiotics that can treat resistance bacteria For medicines, the first thing in the market is nearly three decades. The new molecule, called LaRiosidin, works on part of the bacterial cell called ribosome and Your jobs can be changed.

“It is a new molecule with a new way of working. It is a great step forward for us“Jerry Wright, a professor at the Canadian University of McMaster and one of the authors opposite the study.

Discover that Laureosidin is produced by Paenibacillus bacteriaThis was on the ground. Researchers They revealed samples to E. ColiCommon intestinal bacteria with strains can cause serious diseases. In addition to her work against bacteria, LaRiosidin also did not appear toxicity for human cells.

“Larrisidin has a wide range of work, because it is both effective against bacteria, positive, gram and gram, including those that have been identified As a priority for the World Health Organization Raphon Countyon, head of microbiology in Ramon E in Madrid, said in a statement that searching for new antimicrobials for its multi -resistance file.

Canton, who did not participate in the study, also confirmed that Discover a completely new mechanism To attack pathogens, it represents “a milestone in the battle against Resistant bacteria“More research, including clinical trials, is needed to confirm the effectiveness of the compound.

Antimicrobial resistance: an increasing source of general health

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced this Antimicrobial resistance (RAM) Es One of the main threats of global public health. “Our old medicines are less effective and less effective as bacteria become more resistant to them,” Wright said.

According to the World Health Organization, about 4.95 million deaths in the world are associated with RAM. In Europe and Central Asia, antimicrobial resistance It caused 133,000 deaths per yearAccording to the World Health Organization Regional Office in Europe. It is also estimated that the European Union and the economic area will cost about 11.7 billion euros annually due to the loss of productivity and health expenditures.
