Increasing numbers of bacteria are developing antibiotic resistance. This forms a significant challenge in the battle against bacterial infections.

This candidate drug does not destroy pathogenic bacteria, but rather disarms them. The benefit of this new strategy is that useful bacteria are unharmed and there is a lower risk of the development and spread of resistance by bacteria.
