<v Speaker 1>And today's good news, researchers have discovered an antibiotic that's

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>one hundred times stronger than existing ones and is effective

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:21.520

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>been overlooked for decades and quote importantly, the researchers could

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.520
