Patients in British hospitals with serious, antibiotic-resistant gut infections have little in common with snakebite victims overseas. But when scientists made an unlikely connection in 2018, it led to trials for a potential new treatment for antibiotic-resistant infections. In this blog post we explore the science behind the discovery. In 2018, UKHSA (then Public Health England) began working with a small Welsh pharmaceutical company which produces a range of antivenoms to treat snakebites worl
