'Penicillin' found in wallaby milk

AN ingredient of wallaby milk that protects joeys from infection
could one day become the magic substance doctors desperately need to
kill antibiotic-resistant hospital superbugs.
Australian scientists have found a compound in the milk which, in
laboratory testing, is 100 times more effective than penicillin at
killing a wide variety of fungi and bacteria, including golden staph.
Research team leader Ben Cocks said the compound, dubbed AGG01, could
have a profound impact on human health.
"This compound has the potential to be commercially synthesised and
may prove vital in the war against increasingly resistant human and
animal diseases," he said.
Dr Cocks said the compound was special because, instead of just
stopping bacteria growing like many other antimicrobials, it actually
killed them – and quickly.
