UIC researchers prove that drugs designed for bacteria have potential to act on human cells. According to researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago, the…
Almost all bacteria rely on the same emergency valves—protein channels that pop open under pressure, releasing a deluge of cell contents. It is a last-ditch…
Scientists have revealed how an antibiotic of ‘last resort’ kills bacteria. The findings, from Imperial College London and the University of Texas, may also reveal…
Nanothin antimicrobial coating could prevent and treat potentially deadly infections. Researchers have developed a new superbug-destroying coating that could be used on wound dressings and…
An MIT team has created polymers that replicate the structure of mucins, the molecules that give mucus its unique antimicrobial properties. More than just a…
It’s estimated that an average-sized wastewater treatment plant serving roughly 400,000 residents will discharge up to 2,000,000 microplastic particles into the environment each day. Yet,…
Membrane-localized phage proteins may also help revitalize, enhance existing antibiotics. A study from the Center for Phage Technology, part of Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture…
Modern hospitals and antibiotic treatment alone did not create all the antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria we see today. Instead, selection pressures from before the widespread…
Study suggests forcing bacteria to burn more energy could make them more susceptible to antibiotics. Bacteria have many ways to evade the antibiotics that we…
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and other institutions have identified a novel strategy that can eliminate bacteria in a specific location before they cause…
Mechanism for control of antibiotic production in soil bacteria is visualized for the first time by scientists at University of Warwick and Monash University Research…
In Michelle O’Malley’s lab, a simple approach suggests a big leap forward in addressing the challenge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Scientists have long been aware of…
Dual-acting immuno-antibiotics block an essential pathway in bacteria and activate the adaptive immune response. Wistar Institute scientists have discovered a new class of compounds that…
These slow growing bacteria have long puzzled TB researchers. Turns out the answer lies in the epigenetic domain. For a slow-growing microbe that multiplies infrequently,…
University of Oklahoma researchers published an opinion article in the journal Nature Chemical Biology that addresses the gap in the discovery of new antibiotics. “The continuing emergence…
Without urgent action, superbugs will kill 22,000 Australians a year by 2040 A comprehensive national database is needed to capture infection rates and arrest the…
In a retrospective case study, Mayo Clinic researchers have found that antibiotics administered to children younger than 2 are associated with several ongoing illnesses or…
