...researchers from the Victorian government's Department of Primary Industries made the discovery while investigating the chemical properties of Tammar wallabies' breast milk to determine how their immune-deficient newborns built up resistance to bacteria while in the pouch.
The team's lead researcher Dr. Ben Cocks says that the compound, dubbed AGG01, has the potential to be commercially synthesized and could prove invaluable as both human and animal diseases become ever more antibiotic resistant. AGG01 has been found to be effective against supergerm Staphylococcus aureus (golden staph), ecoli, Streptococci, Salmonella, Bacillus subtilus, Pseudomonas spp, and Proteus vulgaris.
