UBC researchers find new superbug weapon for near-empty antibiotics arsenal
Imagine the desperation of trying to fight lethal infections when antibiotics fail to work. That scenario -- commonly found with "hospital superbugs" -- may well improve thanks to a discovery by a research team at the University of British Columbia, in collaboration with UBC spin-off company Inimex Pharmaceuticals, that has identified a peptide that can fight infection by boosting the body's own immune system.
