Superbug may lead to new methods for fighting resistance
A team of researchers has discovered a bacteria 'superbug' at the bottom of a 1,000 feet (300m) deep cave that is resistant to 70 per cent of modern antibiotics.
Bacteria can foster a resistance to key antibiotics even if never exposed to them, a new finding reveals.

But the bacteria have remained isolated from humans, society, and antibiotic drugs for four million years.
