Since the discovery of penicillin, researchers have developed better and better antibiotics to fight microbial infection. Bacteria, in turn, have evolved more and more effective ways of resisting these drugs: by destroying them, by pumping them out, or by modifying the target of the drug. Atomic structures help us understand resistance to antibiotics and develop new ways to fight infection.
Download the Superbugs poster or use the interactive animation to explore the protein structures that medical researchers are utilizing to search for ways to fight superbugs likes MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus).
