Recent developments at Burnham Institute for Medical Research, November 2009
New antibiotics for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other pesky bacteria. Andrei Osterman and collaborators have used comparisons of bacterial genomes to identify new targets for antibiotics and produced first-generation chemical inhibitors of a class of bacterial enzymes, called NadDs (nicotinate mononucleotide adenylyltransferases). Described in a recent article in Chemistry & Biology (Cell Press), the team, led by Dr. Osterman, has provided proof of concept for a novel class of antibiotics that could address the problem of antibiotic resistance in MRSA and other types of drug resistant bacteria. It is estimated that within the next one to two decades most antibiotics currently available will be useless due to the emergence of drug resistant strains.
