‘Game-changing’ antibiotic successfully produced in HK

A recently-discovered, “game-changing” antibiotic that could be the key to fighting the growing number of drug-resistant bacterial infections has been successfully synthesized by a research team at the University of Hong Kong.

The University of Hong Kong team led by Dr. Li Xuechen worked with collaborators at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the University of Central Florida, and published their results in the journal Nature Communications.
