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

The molecule was found in soil samples collected from a laboratory technician’s garden. The discovery shows that “there is ...

Bacteria can easily evolve, and can quickly gain resistance to drugs. Drug-resistant bacterial infections already cause the deaths of millions ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

have discovered a powerful candidate antibiotic that can kill a broad range of bacteria, including those resistant to existing antibiotics. They have published the findings in the journal Nature.

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

Antibiotics kill or stop the growth of bacteria, but the more they are used, the better bacteria become at resisting them.

A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains threatens to set back the world a hundred years to the age when even a minor ...

In the 20th century, when a routine infection was treated with a standard antibiotic, recovery was expected. But over time, ...

Lariocidin, a peptide made by bacteria living in soil, was effective against several different microbes responsible for deadly infections. UIC researchers working with collaborators at McMaster ...

Increased antibiotic use can lead, seemingly paradoxically, to more problematic infections, as the bacteria evolve to resist ...
