The antibiotic of the future is in our nose

A group of researchers led by Andreas Peschel-German university of the "Tübingen", announced that it has discovered a powerful new antibiotics produced by a bacterium that lives our nostrils nose

Scientists have managed tw bwjnw a breakthrough in their fight to find effective weapon against bacterial infections, which had the full sense of the word, just below the nose. 
A group of researchers led by Andreas Peschel-of a German university to "Tübingen", announced that it has discovered a new antibiotic powerful produced by a bacterium that lives our nostrils of the nose. 
According to the first results of the study published in the scientific journal "Nature" and present and "ESOF2016 "the meeting European scientific research, the antibiotic is able to kill many types of bacteria, including those microbes that are considered too risky because of resist topical antibiotics. 
microbes good and bad 
scientists niswn their work from a given known in medicine. The organism Staphylococcus aureus, responsible for more dangerous infections nose sit easily within 30% of the world population. Doctors when they find a person infected with the microbe, immediately instruct the use of antibiotics, a practice debate. 
The question the researchers was: How is it that 70% of the population resists colonization by staphylococcus? 
The idea was to block the increase the other colonies had good tw staphylococcus germs, but no one knew who and what that mechanism. 
knockout bacteria 
to find out, the scientists tested the capacity of 90 species of staphylococcus get nose to block the growth of harmful bacteria. They found a kind, very efficient, which is called Staphyloccus lugdunensis, which stopped the growth of colonies of microbes. 
Also scientists discovered that microbes bad were found in the nose only 6% when was this kind of bacteria, while he was missing were 35% individuals. 
the researchers found that use bacteria-based substance en fighting bad germs called lugdunina. With it, were experiments in mice cured and managed to severe skin infections caused by the microbe stafilococco aureo. 
This is the first time that an antibiotic derived from our body. In most cases the creation of existing medicines, they are derived from bacteria to stick to the ground.
