Each species makes toxins that can either kill other species or arrest their growth, and existing antibiotics are modified versions of these natural defenses. But that is just the kind of biological arms race that microbes and other living things excel at adapting to. So researchers working on the next generation of antibiotics are taking advantage of new knowledge about bacterial genetics and a better understanding of the resistance process to stay one step ahead of the ever changing bugs...
