German scientists have discovered a naturally occurring new substance capable of inhibiting the development of multiple drug-resistant bacteria, according to the latest report on the website AlphaGalileo.

Named MMA, or 7-O-malonyl-macrolactin, this new substance offers hope in the fight against bacteria resistant to the 'last line of defense' drugs , reported on AlphaGalileo. .
The new antibiotic was discovered by scientists at the German Center for Biological Engineering Research (GBF) in Braunschweig, created with a new strain of bacteria living in the soil called Bacillus subtilis.
MMA antibiotics not only inhibit the well-known methicillin-resistant staph (MRSA), but also inhibit vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), both of which cause infections in patients admitted to hospital. In addition MMA also prevents bacteria from dividing cells, thus making them unable to proliferate.
