Breakthrough in fight against drug-resistant superbugs | Daily Mail Online

'Doctors have long warned of the dangers of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

These increasingly common bacteria can kill – and so far, drugs cannot stop them.

However, a new discovery has brought the medical community one step closer to wiping out these deadly superbugs.

Scientists from University of East Anglia have uncovered the mechanism by which antibiotic-resistant bacterial cells maintain a defensive barrier.

This finding could lead to new drugs that kill the superbugs by bringing down their defensive walls.'
