Remember to Take Your Vitamins (and Sprinkle Them on Biofilm) 🧫 A Look at Vitamin C #ActAgainstAmputation

We’ve long been told to take our vitamins—but recent research suggests we might also want to “prescribe” them directly to our most persistent microbial adversaries. A striking 2025 study published in BMC Microbiology reveals that vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) may do more than bolster immune function: it can weaken drug-resistant bacterial biofilms and restore the efficacy of...

New Hope Against Superbugs: A Unique Antibiotic Family Targeting Untapped Bacterial Enzyme AntibioticResistance #Superbugs #DrugDiscovery #InfectionControl #DiabeticFootUlcer #McMasterResearch #AntimicrobialResistance

: In an exciting development against antimicrobial resistance, our colleague Dr. Christopher McMaster and his team have pioneered a unique family of antibiotics using computer-aided design to target an enzyme called holo-acyl carrier protein synthase (AcpS). AcpS is critical for bacterial survival, yet remains untargeted by existing antibiotics, making it a highly promising avenue for... Continue Reading →
