Why don't antibiotic-making bacteria self-destruct? Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The molecule, called lariocidin, is produced by the microbe Paenibacillus and shows…

🧬 Lariocidin is a new lasso peptide

💊 It’s one of over 100 known lasso peptides, but only 10–12 have known mechanisms. This one may have antibiotic potential.

Lasso-Shaped Antibiotic Breaks Through Drug Resistance Barriers Scientists have discovered lariocidin, a lasso-shaped antibiotic from soil bacteria that effectively targets drug-resistant pathogens by binding to a novel site on bacterial ribosomes, offering a new strategy in combating antibiotic resistance.

Meet lariocidin: the lasso-shaped antibiotic that's outsmarting drug-resistant bacteria and paving the way for new treatments. #AntibioticResistance #Lariocidin #MedicalBreakthrough

New lasso-shaped antibiotic kills drug-resistant bacteria Hear the biggest stories from the world of science | 26 March 2025

Forscher haben ein neues Molekül mit antibiotischer Wirkung gegen eine Reihe krankheitserregender Bakterien entdeckt, darunter auch solche, die gegen bestehende Medikamente resistent sind. Das neue Molekül (...) heißt aufgrund seiner lassoförmigen Struktur #Lariocidin.
