Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a compound that is effective against common bacteria that can lead to rare, dangerous illnesses. This image shows untreated Streptococcus pyogenes bacterial culture full of healthy microbes, labeled green (left). After treatment by GmPcide, the dish is full of dead bacteria (red; right).

This rotifer has just survived a life-threatening infection. When a fungal disease attacked, she switched on hundreds of genes that her ancestors copied from microbes, including antibiotic recipes stolen from bacteria. Notes: This animal is about a quarter of a millimetre long and belongs to the species Adineta ricciae. It has two red eyes on its head.

A (light green) bacterial cell detects a source of stress and becomes activated (dark green). It then produces alarmones (depicted as red triangles) and can transmit them to neighboring cells via cell-to-cell contact (black arrows). As the source of stress arrives, the percentage of activated cells increases, converting unstressed neighboring cells and triggering the stress response mechanism.
