The notoriously drug-resistant bug MRSA has made headlines for years, but a whole other class of bacteria may prove even more troublesome. These microbes, Gram-negative bacteria, are increasingly a threat--and yet not a single late-stage drug in development specifically targets them. Christian Torres follows one man's quest to get the antibacterial pipeline flowing once again.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)这种臭名昭著的耐药菌多年来一直是头条新闻,但另一类细菌可能更麻烦。这些革兰氏阴性菌的微生物正日益成为一种威胁——而目前没有一种处于后期开发阶段的药物专门针对它们。克里斯蒂安·托雷斯(Christian Torres)跟踪了一个人的探索,希望再次让抗菌药物研发管道畅通。
