Bacteria are small single cell organisms. Most bacteria are harmless and contribute to normal functioning of the body. Infectious bacteria on the other hand (for example, Staphylococcus aureus) can cause illness, which can be severe if left untreated. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics however, with their increased use, bacteria have developed strategies to evade death by antibiotics, called drug resistance. New types of antibiotics are needed to combat these drug-resistant bacteria.

细菌是小型单细胞生物。大多数细菌是无害的，有助于身体的正常运作。另一方面，感染性细菌（例如，金黄色葡萄球菌）可能会导致疾病，如果不及时治疗，可能会很严重。细菌感染可以用抗生素治疗，然而，随着抗生素使用的增加，细菌已经发展出逃避抗生素死亡的策略，称为耐药性。需要新型抗生素来对抗这些耐药细菌。
