The Antibiotic Arms Race: How Beta-lactam Inhibitors Are Fighting Back
In hospital intensive care units worldwide, a microscopic battle wages between life and death. Superbugs armed with beta-lactamase enzymes are dismantling our most trusted antibiotics, while pharmaceutical scientists race to develop the next generation of beta-lactamase inhibitors. This evolutionary arms race represents one of modern medicine's most critical frontlines—and is worth billions in the fight for human survival.

These molecular warriors work by disrupting bacterial cell wall construction, essentially causing harmful bacteria to self-destruct. For decades, they were medicine's silver bullets against infection. But bacteria evolved a devastating counterstrike: beta-lacta...
