Researchers from North Carolina State University have synthesized an analog of lipoxazolidinone A, a small molecule that is effective against drug-resistant bacteria such as MRSA. This molec... Read more
A team of researchers from Queen’s University Belfast, led by Professor Ryan Donnelly, Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology are developing a new type of skin patch (microarray patch) that... Read more
Scientists report that they now know how to build a molecular Trojan horse that can penetrate gram-negative bacteria, solving a problem that for decades has stalled the development of effect... Read more
Microbes in the gut can “disarm” antibiotics, leading to antibiotic resistance and incurable infections. A new method makes it possible to quickly detect resistance genes and, hence, choose... Read more
Oregon State University researchers have developed a new weapon in the battle against antibiotic-resistant germs – a molecule that neutralizes the bugs’ ability to destroy the antibiot... Read more
A naturally occurring predatory bacterium can work with the immune system to clear multi-drug resistant Shigella infections in zebrafish. It is the first time the predatory bacterium Bdellov... Read more
Polluted city air has now been identified as a possible means of transmission for resistant bacteria. Researchers in Gothenburg have shown that air samples from Beijing contain DNA from gene... Read more
SOME people describe Darwinian evolution as “only a theory”. Try explaining that to the friends and relatives of the 700,000 people killed each year by drug-resistant infections. Resistance... Read more
In what is being heralded as a groundbreaking discovery, scientists led by Monash and Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researcher, Thomas Naderer and James Vince, have shown that drugs, origi... Read more
Scientists at the University of East Anglia are getting closer to solving the problem of antibiotic resistance. New research published today in the journal Nature reveals the mechanism by wh... Read more
A team of biologists and biomedical researchers at UC San Diego has developed a new method to determine if bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics within a few hours, an advance that could s... Read more
Scientists have developed an easy-to-use computer program that can quickly analyse bacterial DNA from a patient’s infection and predict which antibiotics will work, and which will fail... Read more
TAU researcher’s novel strategy may sensitize bacteria to antibiotics to selectively kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria At its annual assembly in Geneva last week, the World Health Org... Read more
For years scientists have been aware of the potential problems of antibiotics being present in wastewater, and the research of Dr. Olya Keen is now showing that treatments to clean wastewate... Read more
A treatment pioneered at the University of Pittsburgh Center for Vaccine Research (CVR) is far more effective than traditional antibiotics at inhibiting the growth of drug-resistant bacteria... Read more
