Comment on New antibiotic kills off persistent infections

Comments

Very interesting research but it doesn't mention any negatives of ADEP4. What kind of effects could it have on the human body?

Many antibiotics are fairly nasty drugs - they're associated with kidney failure and other negative outcomes, especially for long term treatment. But it's hard to know for sure until things progress to the point where we are doing toxicity studies.

Which you don't bother with until you know the thing can work in the first place.
