A new experimental antibiotic has stunned researchers by wiping out dangerous bacteria at concentrations roughly two orders ...

About a decade ago, researchers began to observe a recurring challenge in their research: Some of the compounds they were developing to harness energy from bacteria were instead killing the microbes.

Researchers believe they have identified a new class of antibiotics, nearly three decades since the last new one came to market. Teams at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada and the University of ...

The rise of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens has spurred scientists to search far and wide for new drugs. And while many antimicrobial molecules have been discovered in recent years, it’s rare to ...

As more and more pathogenic bacteria gain resistance to commonly used antibiotics, the search for new, effective, and safe antibiotics has become vital. According to The Lancet, almost 5 million ...

There is a compelling need to produce new antibiotics that hamper severe opportunistic infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals, such as those caused by gram-negative Pseudomonas ...

Human history was forever changed with the discovery of antibiotics in 1928. Infectious diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis and sepsis were widespread and lethal until antibiotics made them ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health problem. Few new molecules are in development, but a new antibiotic called clovibactin brings hope. This drug, isolated from bacteria that haven't ...

A recent WHO report outlined concerning changes in the antibacterial pipeline — namely, that the pipeline is shrinking and ...

India faces a rapidly worsening antimicrobial resistance crisis driven by multidrug-resistant bacteria, weak surveillance, ...
