Researchers have produced a family of super antibiotics which are competent of thrashing MRSA and other lethal viruses. One of the drugs which assassinated sprains of the hospital super bug opposed to antibiotics already in use. Others were more than a match for other prospective deadly microbes.

Other deadly microbes are food poisoning virus E coli and acinetobacter, which is soil habitat virus and is even harder to treat than MRSA. The new medicines have been sleeted as a significant step ahead, reported the prestigious journal Nature. New treatment could save millions of lives.

Many super bugs are opposed to all but one or two antibiotics and with opposition increasing all the time, researchers envisage a clinical catastrophe in which hospital bugs will be absolutely inoperable. The super antibiotics work in an analogous way to affiliates of a long-standing family of medicines known as quinolones.

The super antibiotics tackle respiratory and other infections by prying with an enzyme which diverse types of bacteria require to breed. The latest drug which is in the premature stage of growth connects to the same enzyme, but in a different place that means it can assassinate virus which are opposed to other medicines.

It is a significant footstep ahead in the race against antibiotic opposition, said Ted Bianco from the Wellcome Trust, which part subsidize the research.

    In my experience, disease cannot be remedied by administering drugs
    They only suppress the symptoms

    Any disease can be remedied by natural means
