A group of University of Nottingham, UK researchers, led by Simon Lee, found that brains of certain species of cockroaches and locusts contain substances toxic to antibiotic resistant organisms. The scientists considered the brain as the most vital part of the insect to protect and screened it for antibacterial activity. The results were positive, and scientists are analyzing brain chemicals to determine which plays a key role. The discovery could reveal new treatments for multi-drug resistant bacteria, also known as superbugs.
