Czech scientists have developed a new generation of antibiotics that are highly effective against a broad range of bacteria but also effectively prevent the development of bacterial resistance. The ground-breaking discovery, made in collaboration with China, has been published in the prestigious journal Advanced Materials.

Increasing bacterial resistance against antibiotics, caused by persistent misuse and overprescription, presents a major threat to public health.
