"Researchers haven’t identified a new class of antibiotic medication since 1987." Teixobactin is 2015 and is probably a member of a new class of antibiotics.

- nanofortnight 10y agoTeixobactin unfortunately isn't helpful to us. We really really need something that works against gram negatives at the moment. Also note that retrospective studies have shown that first observed resistance to an antibiotic appears about six months after it is introduced. We are producing new antibiotic families far slower than this rate.
