The first antibiotic to fight a new generation of "superbugs" won
limited approval from an FDA advisory panel Thursday. If the FDA acts
on the recommendation of the panel, made up of experts from around
the country, Synercid will be the first drug in a new arsenal against
antibiotic-resistant bacteria. But experts say it cannot be the last,
as bacteria mutate to fight the strongest drugs. Antibiotic-resistant
bacteria are a growing problem around the world. Although they are
not widespread in the general population, they are becoming more
common in hospitals and in patients with depressed immune systems who
typically have been treated with many drugs over a long period. See
