Scientists find hidden antibiotic 100x stronger against deadly superbugs

Scientists discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone that was hiding as an intermediate compound in a well-studied bacteria. This antibiotic proves 100 times more effective than existing treatments against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE, which are resistant to current drugs. Testing shows bacteria haven't developed resistance to this compound, offering hope against infections that kill 1.1 million people annually.
