A team of Irish researchers discovered that the soil of Fermanagh province, in northern Ireland, could be essential to fight against antibiotic resistance.
According to the website of the British newspaper "Daily Mail", doctors and researchers have looked for new ways to kill supernatural bacteria and the new result could pave the way.
The study showed that the soil of Fermanagh province, Northern Ireland, could stop the growth of drug-resistant bacteria, such as bacteria. MRSA in the hospital.
This discovery was hailed as an "important step forward" in the fight against antibiotic resistance, one of the greatest threats to humanity.
