MELBOURNE, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- Chemists in Australia and Britain have discovered a promising new antibiotic capable of killing drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, including MRSA and VRE.
The newly discovered antibiotic, called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, was found "hiding in plain sight" as an intermediate chemical in the natural process that produces the well-known antibiotic methylenomycin A, according to a Monash University press release on Tuesday.
