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

Some notoriously difficult-to-treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to new ...

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 ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a serious public health threat. Understanding the biology of these bacteria—such as how ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious public health threat. Understanding the biology of these bacteria--such as how they synthesise their protective capsules--is essential for developing new ...

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.

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 ...

“Biofilms are pretty nasty to get off because they’re super sticky and they allow the bacteria to respond to any antimicrobial assault by enemies such as antibiotics. Once that ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

In a startling discovery, a team of Boston University researchers found that bacteria exposed to microplastics became resistant to multiple types of antibiotics commonly used to treat infections.
