Scientists reveal how antibiotic-resistant genes are spreading around the world, raising concerns about their rapid transmission and the role humans are playing.
Results for "antibiotic resistance"
Phages help reverse antibiotic resistance in dangerous superbug
Scientists investigated phages that can kill the world’s leading superbug, Acinetobacter baumannii, which is responsible for up to 20% of infections in intensive care units.
An antidiabetic drug in the fight against antibiotic resistance
A research team combats antibiotic-resistant superbugs by administering antibiotics together with metformin.
Antimicrobial resistance is an unwinnable arms race
Experts argue a new approach is needed so that we are less reliant on antimicrobial drugs, where less use means less resistance.
Light-activated molecular machines combat antimicrobial resistance
A selective weapon that can be remotely controlled to kill bacteria independently or in concert with current antibiotic approaches.
Searching for new antibiotics based on quinone
New potential antibiotic molecules were found to destroy biofilms and acted against gram-positive bacteria.
Breath-based biosensor monitors antibiotic concentrations in the body
To help combat antibiotic resistance, scientists have developed a biosensor for more efficient and controlled administration of antibiotics.
New antibiotic for deadly superbug could save tens of thousands of lives
New leads derived from an FDA-approved drug could provide potential therapeutic options for problematic vancomycin-resistant enterococci infections.
RNA-RNA interfaces as a possible antibiotic target
RNA “sandwiches” perform crucial roles in a range of bacterial metabolic pathways.
Does the dusk of “old-school antibiotics” mean the dawn of antimicrobial nanomaterials?
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming a major global threat. Novel antibacterial nanomaterials offer a solution.
