Amid a surge in drug-resistant bacteria, researchers believe they have discovered a new class of antibiotics for the first ...

Lariocidin hits drug-resistant bacteria where others fail — by hijacking the ribosome at a new site, bypassing defences, and opening the door to a new generation of antibiotics. Lariocidin ...

New insights into a "friendly virus" that could pave the way for cutting-edge treatments for the potentially fatal superbug C ...

Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic molecule that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria — even strains resistant to commercial drugs — and is not toxic to human cells 1.

The last time a new class of antibiotics reached the market was nearly three decades ago—but that could soon change, thanks ...

That process led to the group discovering a lasso peptide that exhibited broad-spectrum antibiotic activity and was effective ...

Researchers have identified a new molecule with antibiotic activity against a range of disease-causing bacteria, including those resistant to existing drugs. The new molecule — isolated from ...

Recurrent UTIs have become a bigger problem as the bacteria that cause them have become more resistant to the antibiotics available to treat them. Blujepa is the first new type of oral antibiotic ...

The generic term 'antibiotic' is used to denote any class of organic molecules that inhibits or kills microbes by specific interactions with bacterial targets, without any consideration of the ...

Roughly one out of three women ages 14-49 in the United States develop a vaginal bacterial imbalance known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) during their lifetime. BV is characterized by unpleasant odors, ...

This involves taking a little bit of the liquid from your sore and testing it to see what type of bacteria caused it to determine which antibiotics will work best against it. Antibiotics are first ...
