Forskare i Lund har upptäckt en antitoxinmekanism som tycks kunna neutralisera hundratals olika toxiner och därmed skydda bakterier mot virusattacker. Mekanismen har fått namnet Panacea, efter den grekiska medicinens gudinna vars namn har blivit synonymt med universellt botemedel. Förståelsen av bakteriella toxin- och antitoxinmekanismer kommer att vara avgörande för framtida framgångsrik fagterap
