Reviving old antibiotics with adjuvants that block bacterial transcription

Executive Summary
Bacteria continue proving themselves immensely capable of resisting formerly effective antibiotics, and likewise capable of thwarting drugmakers’ efforts to create new types of compounds. The founders of BioVersys AG believe they can identify compounds uniquely able to block certain bacterial resistance factors; they aim to develop such molecules as adjuvants to be given in combination with existing antibiotics, to help restore their potency.
