Scientists looking for new methods to combat drug-resistant superbugs have mapped the genomes of more than 3,000 micro organism.

The samples embody a bug taken from Alexander Fleming’s nostril, and a dysentery-causing strain from a World war One soldier.
The DNA of lethal strains of plague, dysentery and cholera had been additionally decoded in what the researchers mentioned was an effort to better understand some of the world’s most harmful diseases and develop new methods to combat them.


Specialists estimate that about 70% of micro organism are already resistant to atleast one or more antibiotic that’s generally used to deal with them, and the world could also be dealing with an antibiotic scarcity.
This has made the evolution of ‘superbugs’ that may evade one or that can evade one or multiple drugs one of the biggest threats facing medicine today.
