Need of new antimicrobial drugs is the call of the hour with most antimicrobial agents being increasingly ineffective as Antimicrobial Resistance is increasing globally. The Indian Institute of Science and Unilever have collaborated to create an ‘atomistic model’, a computer simulation that recreates the structure of cell wall down to the level of individual atoms, to test the effectiveness of molecules to kill the target microbe. This model helps in rapid screening of potential antimicrobials which further needs to be tested in the laboratory.
