New #antibiotic that kills #drugresistant #bacteria discovered in technician’s #garden
It targets bacteria’s protein-making factory, the #ribosome, in a way that other antibiotic drugs don’t. Ribosome is an attractive antibiotic target because bacteria don’t easily develop resistance to #drugs targeting the structure. In studies, #lariocidin slowed the growth of a range of common bacterial #pathogens, including many multidrug-resistant strains.

Just wondering.
Who are the true 💩heads? Those that do not pick up after their dog and allow possible pathogens to enter the environment or those who pick up after their dog but leave the bag thus adding plastic to the environment and eventually adding pathogens to the environment.
Picking up poop protects your four legged companion and those of others. It is being health conscience and neighborly.
A dog person always has several bags in their pocket. For themselves and for other dog people who forgot theirs.
There are solutions. I really like the Dicky Bag. dickybag.com

Though the #FDA is believed to have lost about 700 of its 18k employees, some cuts hit small teams so deeply that staff members believe the #safety of some #medical devices could be compromised.

Among the #layoffs were scientists supported by the fees who monitor whether tests pick up ever-evolving #pathogens, including those that cause #BirdFlu & #Covid.
