Just to show our old Antibiotics act is alive….we couldn’t resist posting this encouraging video story from the Guardian. [1] Written by a pool of journalists, it’s about an intrepid woman called Christine Dorador who is tirelessly tramping the Atacama region of Chile in search of new antibiotics for us all.
We have riffed here before about the search for natural sources of new antibiotics in things like Komodo dragons and back gardens (don’t try combine the two!) Frankly, we never suspected to see a story like this. Hats off please, all LSS readers!
