Researchers from North Carolina State University have found a gene that gives Salmonella resistance to antibiotics of last resort in a sample taken from a human patient in the U.S. The find... Read more
A new compound developed by University of Sheffield experts has killed antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli, during tests New treatments for gram-negative bacteria... Read more
Researchers analysing soil from Ireland long thought to have medicinal properties have discovered that it contains a previously unknown strain of bacteria which is effective against four of... Read more
Wide dissemination of colistin-resistant Escherichia coli, a growing therapeutic concern, in rural communities in Vietnam revealed A team of researchers led by Osaka University examined the... Read more
Stratospheric ozone depletion The stratospheric ozone layer in the atmosphere filters out ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. If this layer decreases, increasing amounts of UV radiation... Read more
I In the fight against drug-resistant bacteria, MIT researchers have enlisted the help of beneficial bacteria known as probiotics. In a new study, the researchers showed that by delivering a... Read more
In parts of Europe, some strains of the latest superbug are already resistant to all known antibiotics – but researchers don’t yet know how it is spreading internationally When Dr Jean Lee c... Read more
A genetic disruption strategy developed by CU Boulder researchers effectively stymies the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as E. coli, giving scientists a crucial leg up in th... Read more
Purdue University researchers have identified a new compound that in preliminary testing has shown itself to be as effective as antibiotics approved by the Food and Drug Administration to t... Read more
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
