Fungi dwelling on human skin may provide new antibiotics
University of Oregon (UO) researchers have uncovered a molecule produced by yeast living on human skin that showed potent antimicrobial properties against a pathogen responsible for a half-million hospitalizations annually in the United States. It's a unique approach to tackling the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
