A. baumannii bacteria can cause life-threatening respiratory illness and sepsis in vulnerable individuals, particularly in newborn babies whose immune systems have not fully developed.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a monoclonal antibody drug, using a technique involving genetically engineered mice.

The research was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , the UK Medical Research Council Newton Fund , the Viet Nam Ministry of Science and Technology , and Wellcome .

Professor Baker says monoclonal antibodies are safe and that they work, and the technology exists to produce them.
