Sugar Target Offers New Hope Against Superbugs

8 February 2026

Scientists discovered a unique bacterial sugar that could help defeat dangerous antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers designed antibodies that recognize this sugar, allowing the immune system to detect and destroy harmful bacteria without damaging human cells. The treatment successfully eliminated deadly infections in laboratory mice, showing strong potential for future medical use. This breakthrough could support new immune-based therapies to fight hospital superbugs and reduce reliance on antibiotics.
