Scientists in South Yorkshire have uncovered the precise way a type of antibiotic works to attack bugs, potentially paving the way for new treatments: bbc.in/3GoUP6g

Remember when Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928? Now, almost 100 years later, we know how it actually works! A team of researchers with @bmssheffield have discovered how these types of antibiotics work to kill the superbug MRSA. Read more👇 sheffield.ac.uk/news/scientist…

Tune in this afternoon at 4 pm on live BBC Sheffield radio 🎙️🎧 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li… for my short interview on behalf of all the team of Scientists at the The University of Sheffield led by Foster Lab and Sheffield AFM Group to talk about how antibiotics kill bacteria cells 💊#AFM #microbiology

See the summary of the work here: "Yorkshire scientists in antibiotic breakthrough bbc.co.uk/news/england/s… via BBC News (UK)"
