University of Helsinki scientists discover promising antibiotic candidates from Arctic deep-sea microbes.

Scientists at the University of Helsinki have discovered promising antibiotic candidates from deep-sea microbes in the Arctic Ocean that could potentially fight deadly viruses in the face of an antibiotic crisis. The researchers found two previously unknown compounds in the samples that exhibited antibacterial combat and virulence inhibition, which may lead to new ways to treat bacterial infections and reduce side effects. Further investigation into the bioactivities and structures of these compounds will help optimize their production.
