Superdrugs for Superbugs

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China

Received Date: 12 September 2023
Revised Date: 1 November 2023

The human city has faced bacterial attacks since ancient times, but on this fateful day, a superbug emerged among the bacteria, ushering in an unprecedented disaster for humanity. Fortunately, the leaders of the human city initiated the Superdrug Program, providing a ray of hope for mankind. These superbugs possess acquired drug resistance and innate drug resistance, among other extraordinary traits. How will the superdrugs tackle them one by one? Let’s bear witness to this epic battle!
- Drug-resistant bacteria,
- Gram-negative bacteria,
- Antibiotics
