Undoing antibiotic resistance.

The Antipodean ABC Science News has hopeful news about antibiotic resistant superbugs. They might have an Achilles heel after all:

Researchers at New York University report in the journal Science, that bacteria produce certain nitric oxide-producing enzymes to resist antibiotics.

Drugs that inhibit these enzymes can make antibiotics much more potent, making even deadly superbugs like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA succumb, they say.

In the end, we could actually survive the coming super-plague.
