NewsStudies shows new class of antibiotic is effective in tackling MRSA
New research has shown a daily dose of epidermicin NI01 – an antibiotic compound developed by University of Plymouth spinout company Amprologix – is as effective at removing Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as the current standard of care.

NewssiRNA-AGO2 complex inhibits bacterial gene translation: a novel therapeutic strategy for superbug infection
Scientists have demonstrated that exosomes can serve as delivery vehicles to introduce AGO2-loaded siRNA into the cytoplasm of bacteria, and in turn down-regulated gene expression of the mRNA that shares sequence complementarity to the siRNA.
