LK-99s discovery, detailed in two papers from South Korea in late July, sent social media into a frenzy - but the worlds scientists are far from convinced were on the precipice of a revolution just yet.

Consider Durham-based anti-infectives startup ValanBio Therapeutics. The journey that led to the development of its new synthetic antibiotic

A scientific journey decades in the making at Duke University has found a new antibiotic strategy to defeat gram-negative bacteria like Salmonella, Pseudomonas and E. coli, the culprits in many urinary tract infections (UTIs).

A scientific journey decades in the making has found a new antibiotic strategy to defeat gram-negative bacteria like Salmonella, Pseudomonas and E. coli, the culprits in many urinary tract infections. The synthetic molecule works fast and is durable. It interferes with synthesis of the bacterial outer membrane by jamming an enzyme. When tested against a clinical collection of 285 bacterial strains, including some that were highly resistant to commercial antibiotics, it killed them all.
