In seeking new antibiotic sources, researchers have turned to an unlikely source: a whiffy frog known as Odorrana andersonii. By unclumping a compound it produces naturally, they've found a potential gut-friendly ally in the fight against superbugs.

Researchers created safe synthetic antibiotics from frog molecules. These may help fight superbugs in the future.

Frogs may hold the key to fighting dangerous drug-resistant bacteria. These amazing animals have survived for hundreds of millions of years in wet, microbe-filled environments—from steamy jungles to chilly forests.
