Abstract

Colistin is an antibiotic of last resort for treating Gram-negative bacterial infections, but resistance is spreading rapidly. In a recent issue of Nature, Wang et al. use genome mining to identify and synthesize a natural variant that bypasses colistin resistance and offers new hope for tackling antimicrobial resistance.
