New Antibiotic

I found these little trees and thought they would look nice in the house as winter home decor!







A promising new antibiotic has been found in the soil.   A new superdrug is desperately needed as there has been no new discoveries to fight increasingly resistant bacteria since 1987.  A 'team of international researchers used a device called an iChip to collect 10,000 bacteria strains from a grassy field in Maine, including a previously uncultured bacterium that makes teixobactin'.

Those trees are very cute. I picked up similar ones at a nearby dollar store. I use them as props for my macro photography.

I have a couple of those, but I keep them with the Christmas decorations. Once the holidays are over I don't need any reminders it's winter...all I have to do is walk outside!

Oh yes, your little trees look really so lovely! I also read this article about new antibiotics in a German newspaper and was really happy to learn that something like this has been developed.

My mom always said you should let your children play in the dirt. I guess she'll be saying, "I told you so." Your trees are adorable, Christine.
