Researchers from the University of Tubingen in Germany have discovered that a nose-dwelling bacteria, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, produces a chemical called lugdunin. The chemical is "bactericidal against major pathogens," and -- crucially -- not prone to developing a resistance in the bugs that it kills.
That's a peptide derived from the milk of a tasmanian devil.One of the synthetic peptides - Saha-CATH5 - appeared to be particularly effective at killing the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.
