Teixobactin is a newly discovered antibiotic that is effective against gram positive bacteria including drug-resistant strains, such as methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), without detectable development of resistance. The antibiotic, isolated from the soil using a device called the iChip, works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis. | |||

Teixobactin is a newly discovered antibiotic that is effective against gram positive bacteria including drug-resistant strains, such as methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), without detectable development of resistance. The antibiotic, isolated from the soil using a device called the iChip, works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis.
