The images warn that a bite from the insects inside can be anything from painful to deadly. The venom from these insects contains hundreds of chemical components. Each component has a different target and effect. Medica researchers separate the venom into its component parts. Then they create a library of those components, looking for the ones that could be turned into new drugs. “Some of them we found can kill bacteria, like E Coli, so they’re very relevant at the moment where modern medicines are failing. And we’re also findingvenom that is changing and killing cancer cells.” Finding new ways to kill bacteria is important to researchers. One reason is that people have used antibiotics (抗生 素)so much that some bacteria can now resist it. For example, tuberculosis used to be curable with antibiotics. Now it is not.
