Many environmentalists point to plastic pollution in the ocean as a large and growing problem, pointing to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and how even…
Study in mice suggests Clofoctol inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and reduces lung pathology. Repurposed drugs often have a speedier path to clinical use because they have…
Patients prescribed antibiotics in the hospital are more likely to get fungal infections because of disruption to the immune system in the gut. Using immune-boosting…
Discovery of an aberrant protein that kills bacterial cells could help unravel the mechanism of certain antibiotics and point the way to new drugs. An…
As drug-resistant and emerging infections become an increasingly serious global health threat, demand for new types of antibiotics is surging. Researchers are racing to reexamine…
Microbes that safely break down antibiotics could prevent opportunistic infections and reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics are life-saving drugs, but they can also…
Protecting the Human Intestinal Microbiome With Synthetic Biology An engineered live biotherapeutic protects the intestinal microbiome against unwanted consequences of antibiotic therapies and could be…
Australian researchers have revealed how the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) obtains the essential nutrient, manganese, from our bodies, which could lead to better therapies to…
A new strategy for producing a natural compound could also be used to generate variants with even stronger antimicrobial activity. Chemists at MIT have developed…
Spectacular structure of chain-mail may explain the success of C.diff at defending itself against antibiotics and immune system molecules. The spectacular structure of the protective…
University of South Australia scientists have made a surprising discovery in the origins of an antibiotic-resistant gene previously thought to have been confined to Adelaide….
Scientists have found evidence that a type of the antibiotic resistant superbug MRSA arose in nature long before the use of antibiotics in humans and…
Antibiotics cure many bacterial infections. However, some patients suffer a relapse. A research group at the University of Basel has now discovered why some bacteria…
Findings suggest way to help patients heal from dangerous C. difficile. New research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine sheds light on why…
Researchers from the University of Southampton, working with colleagues at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), have developed a new technology based on nanoparticles…
As bacterial infections impervious to drugs rise, so does the need to develop better antibiotics. As long as antibiotics have existed, so too has antibiotic…
An international study of more than 50,000 people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has revealed that IBS symptoms may be caused by the same biological…
