Reviving a forgotten antibiotic: Old drug shows new promise against superbugs

Research discusses the activity spectrum of nourseothricin and its components, S-F and S-D, against drug-resistant, gram-negative pathogens. S-F showed promising activity against NDM-1-expressing Klebsiella pneumoniae Nevada strain with minimal toxicity, and it probes the A-decoding site potentially accounting for its miscoding activity.

Rising tide of chronic disease can be traced to impaired salugenesis, incomplete healing

In medicine and science, the term "pathogenesis" describes the origin and development of disease. There is not, however, a broadly accepted term to describe the other half of the equation: the process of healing and recovery.
