Once treatable infections are becoming deadly because bacteria are developing broad antibiotic resistance. New medicines are urgently needed. Microbes themselves are the richest known source of new antibiotics but finding the 'good bugs' is like finding a needle in a microbial haystack. This project will use state-of-the art science to screen a previously overlooked source of rich microbial biodiversity and find new antibiotics.

曾经可以治疗的感染正在变得致命，因为细菌正在产生广泛的抗生素耐药性。迫切需要新药。微生物本身是已知的新抗生素的最丰富来源，但要找到“好细菌”就像在微生物大海捞针。这个项目将使用最先进的科学来筛选以前被忽视的丰富微生物生物多样性的来源，并找到新的抗生素。
