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.
