Researchers at UC San Francisco suggest that bacteria and other microorganisms that live in and on us could be a rich source of new therapies as they have genetic blueprints that enable them to make thousands of molecules that act like drugs, a new report published in the journal Cell reveals.

Bacteria Could be Tapped for Development of New Therapies for Humans
Researchers at UC San Francisco suggest that bacteria and other microorganisms that live in and on us could be a rich source of new therapies as they have genetic blueprints that enable them to make thousands of molecules that act like drugs, a new report published in the journal Cell reveals.
