Researchers from the universities in Konstanz and Vienna have discovered a new class of antibiotic that selectively targets Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea. These substances trigger a self-destruction program, which also operates in multi-resistant variants of the pathogen. The findings are published in the current issue of Nature Microbiology.
