A new powerful antibiotic, isolated from previously unstudied bacteria, shows promise in tackling harmful bacteria, including the multi-resistant ‘superbugs’. Dubbed “Clovibactin,” this antibiotic destroys bacteria…
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria get extra nutrients and thrive when the drugs kill ‘good’ bacteria in the gut. New research led by scientists at Imperial College London…
Researchers have delved into molecular “de-extinction,” studying ancient genomes for potential antibiotics. Their work unearthed antimicrobial molecules from Neanderthals and Denisovans, challenging traditional notions of…
Bactometer, developed over 15 years of research, is a rapid biological detector targeting antimicrobial resistance in hospitals. Combining magnetic methods with machine learning, it promises…
Over 10% of all life forms are composed of bacteria, but it wasn’t until recently that we came to understand that, similar to humans, soil…
Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Research Science (CSRS) and the University of Toronto have uncovered a new way to attack fungal infections. This…
Scientists have developed a new strategy to improve the delivery of drugs to chronic wound infections. Chronic wounds, which are persistent open sores or damaged…
There’s a pressing demand for fresh antibiotics among healthcare experts to combat resistant bacteria. A team of scientists from the University of Zurich and the…
A new study reports on peptide’s antibacterial mechanism. Researchers from the University of Illinois Chicago have discovered that a peptide derived from fruit flies may…
Findings challenge the traditional view that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) emerges from pathogens that acquire new mutations Samples from ICU patients suggest that instead, highly diverse…
Better purification overcomes original renal toxicity concerns. An old antibiotic could potentially offer much-needed protection against bacterial infections that are resistant to multiple drugs, reveals…
Has the recently developed antibiotic met the legal standard for approval? Are the regulations of the US drug regulatory system being circumvented? US-based drug approvals…
New process could speed the discovery of other much-needed antibiotics. Scientists at McMaster University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have used artificial intelligence to…
Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacterium that you may have encountered if you’ve ever had a wound infection. In the majority of instances, the infection…
The machine-learning algorithm identified a compound that kills Acinetobacter baumannii, a bacterium that lurks in many hospital settings. Using an artificial intelligence algorithm, researchers at…
University of Exeter researchers have used the CRISPR-Cas gene editing system to create a plasmid that targets antibiotic resistance genes, effectively preventing and reversing resistance….
A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics. Since the…
