Jörg Vogel und Linda Popella forschen an einer neuen Klasse von Antibiotika. Similar to vaccines against the coronavirus, RNA-based antibiotics could decisively advance medicine. Research teams from Würzburg have investigated the requirements they must fulfill to achieve this. In the fight against the corona pandemic, mRNA-based drugs have impressively demonstrated their capabilities. Using this technology, scientists were able to develop and market vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in record time that are highly effective in protecting millions of people from severe disease. However, RNA-based medicine can be used to combat more than just viruses. Among other things, they are also considered candidates for a new form of antibiotics that can be used to treat bacterial infections in a mag-tailored manner.
