Fighting drug resistance is like putting together modular furniture. Kraków researchers present groundbreaking discovery
Will it soon be possible to easily adjust viruses to infect specific drug-resistant bacteria? It is quite possible. Recent discoveries of scientists from the Jagiellonian University Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology show why viruses are extremely genetically malleable. And just like with assembling modular furniture, attacking new strains of bacteria may only require replacing the old module with a new one.

Scientists identify causes of incurable boys' disease
Scientists have determined how the toxic protein machinery is activated in Barth syndrome, a genetic disease that affects boys. Problems with the heart, brain and muscles cause most patients to die in early childhood. Now, the work of a 40-person group of researchers with the participation of a Polish scientist brings hope for designing a drug.

Sundew to disarm antibiotic-resistant bacteria
The insectivorous sundew helps scientists destroy the 'armour' that protects bacteria from antibiotics. Even the most resistant bacteria on catheters or dressing materials have a much lower chance of growing and lose their antibiotic-resistant coating when treated with an extract from selected plants.
