A team of researchers overcomes antibiotic resistance in MRSA by combining antibiotics with irradiation.
Developing Alternatives to Antibiotics
Moving away from our dependence on antibiotics through alternative antimicrobial strategies.
Polymers to Combat Antibiotic-Resistant Bacterial Infections
Antimicrobial polymers as a promising alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments.
RNA thermometers to bring down bacteria from the inside
RNA thermometers help regulate bacterial infection and targeting them might be a way toward fighting antibiotic resistance.
“Evolution‐on‐a‐chip” device helps reveal mutations that lead to superbugs
A well-based microfluidic device allows researchers to generate important data that are needed to better understand the parameters that influence evolution in bacteria to combat antibiotic resistance.
The threat beneath our feet: How soil microbes are losing the battle against crop disease
Just like our gut has helpful microbes, so too does the soil around plant roots. But what happens when antibiotics disrupt this balance?
Breakthrough in bacterial identification allows scientists to ID 35 new strains
The new protocol identified microbes that standard techniques alone couldn’t, uncovering previously unknown bacterial strains in the process.
Are probiotics actually beneficial?
The evidence says healthy people can skip the supplement with peace of mind.
Simple process significantly improves viability of antibacterial films
By simplifying the production steps needed to treat surfaces with antibacterial films, scientists hope they can become more widely adopted in clinical settings and beyond.
DeepMind used to create the most complete database of predicted 3D protein structures
This will be one of the most important datasets since the mapping of the Human Genome, say experts.
