The approach taken by Cubist is an option that should be taken into account in order to progress in the pharmaceutical industry. The aim was to find any molecules or bacteria that was contained in soil that could kill the e-coli bacteria, which was supposed to be resistant to all drugs. I believe this is a great way of understanding research, even though it's failing ratio would probably be very high. However, we all know science is all about failing until one day you achieve success and that makes you be remembered forever.
There are an infinite number of organisms on Earth that have not yet been discovered. Cubist's goal is to find one of these organisms that has the ability to kill extremely resistant bacteria.
A bacterium, that is often found in the human intestine, E. Coli, has been developed, which resists all commercial antibiotics. Cubist's goal is to see if there is any living thing that lives on the solo that can be able to destroy this super-bug. That is, if they find anything that kills E. Coli, since it’s very resistant, it means that they found a super drug.
Cubist's approach is to benefit from the constant battle fungi and monera (for example) are fighting in nature. They are trying to find an organism somewhere on earth that is able to kill resistant bacteria.

This way of solving the problem is the most natural: finding a natural predator for the bacteria that we want to erradicate.
