New penicillin found in wallaby milk
April 23, 2006 - 10:34AM
Scientists have discovered a bacteria-fighting compound 100 times more
effective than penicillin - in wallaby milk.
Researchers found the highly-potent compound, tagged AGG01, was active
against a wide variety of fungi and bacteria including
antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
Research team leader Dr Ben Cocks said the discovery could have a
profound impact on both human and animal health.
"This compound has the potential to be commercially synthesised and may
prove vital in the war against increasingly resistant human and animal
diseases," Dr Cocks said.
He said researchers from the Victorian government's Department of
Primary Industries made the discovery while investigating the chemical
properties of Tammar wallabies' breast milk to determine how their
immune-deficient newborns built up resistance to bacteria while in the
pouch.
Using online biological information, they searched the wallaby's genome
to identify more than 30 factors in the breast milk that contribute to
fighting bugs.
Compound AGG01 was found to be effective against a relative of the
hospital superbug MRSA, or golden staph, as well as ecoli, Streptococci,
Salmonella, Bacillus subtilus, Pseudomonas spp, Proteus vulgaris, and
Staphylococcus aureus.

That's great in the short run, but of course it's ultimately just another
thing for bacteria to evolve a resistance to. ;-)

We can avoid the evolution if we are smart about it. Tell every whining
mother that they can't have it unless their child has been admitted to the
hospital. Same goes for everyone else.
All it takes is a few idiots to put us right back where we started.

Perhaps but the real killer bugs like MRSA, were, until recently found
*only* in the hospitals. Those bugs developed there where the full regime
you ask for was being given and perhaps that is why they are super
resistant.
Community Acquired or CA-MRSA is in your schools, day care centers, rest
homes, and health clubs now.

Fine with me. More and more I'm convinced that is the way the war on most
disease will be won. Poison things in a random manner and immunity will
probably develop . Smash it between two rocks and there is nothing to become
immune to.

The adaptation would be an instance of evolution, so you're both

And faster due to misuse.
