"Breakthrough Treatment Unveiled to Tackle Hospital Superbug"

Researchers at Cal State Fullerton have discovered a promising new therapeutic to treat Acinetobacter baumannii, a superbug commonly found in hospitals and resistant to many antibiotics. They found that a strain of lactic acid bacteria called Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL 2244 was effective at stopping the growth of A. baumannii and even causing the bacteria to die. This finding could provide a new alternative treatment for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections. Further research is needed to explore this potential treatment option.
