This new antibiotic is still a couple of years from human trials — sounds promising ! What do you think ?

I was surprised and happy to see this on the national (US) news last night after reading Maz’s post. I can’t remember if this bit is from the post or news, but they say this AB should remain effective for at least 30 years, which is great news. Feeling very lucky since I found RB knowing that mino et al. will keep me safe for a while and the addition of a new AB like Teixobactin, if effective with our bugs, means I might make it to my eighties. Much better than the miserable prognosis most of us received once upon a time. 🙂
