Israeli pharmaceutical company Mileutis develops non-antibiotic treatment and prevention products for animal and human health.

You may have heard that our bodies are becoming resistant, or tolerant to antibiotic treatments and now Hebrew University researchers are showing why. They discovered how bacteria are able to avoid antibiotics, which, for them, is as simple as 'going to sleep.'

In various research centers around the world, there's a microscopic war raging: The one between constantly evolving bacteria and modern medicine. A recent breakthrough from Tel Aviv University may have given the latter a new edge.

A 92-year-old scientist developed a kit that can detect the presence of bacteria resistant to antibiotics. The kit, which will be launched in Europe, also offers immediate information on the type of antibiotic that might still work.
