法国斯特拉斯堡ENTOMED制药公司正在研究以昆虫分泌的物质为原料,生产新一代抗菌素,以改变传统抗菌素不能有效对付某些严重真菌感染和细菌感染的问题。据EN-TOMED公司负责研究者迪马克介绍,斯特拉斯堡分子生物学研究所发现,苍蝇、金龟子、蝴蝶等数百万种昆虫自身抵御各种真菌和细菌感染的能力非常强。其受此启发,从研究昆虫免疫系统入手,从昆虫体中分离抗微生物肽。经测试,该抗微 ENTOMED Pharmaceuticals, Strasbourg, France, is working on the production of a new generation of antibiotics from insect-secreting substances to change the way traditional antibiotics fail to respond effectively to certain serious fungal and bacterial infections. According to Demark, a researcher at EN-TOMED, ​​Strasbourg’s Institute of Molecular Biology has found that millions of insects such as flies, scarabs and butterflies resist their own ability to fight various fungal and bacterial infections. Inspired by the study of the insect immune system, the antimicrobial peptides were isolated from insects. Tested, the anti-micro
