Swiss research teams headed by the University of Zurich (UZH) and Polyphor AG now report the discovery and characterization of a new family of synthetic antibiotics that possess broad-spectrum ...

Aminoglycosides are antibiotics effective against a wide range of bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ...

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

More and more bacterial pathogens are developing resistance. There is an increasing risk that common drugs will no longer be effective against infectious diseases. That is why scientists around the ...

The fight against bacterial infections, especially those caused by resistant pathogens, is in full swing with the search for new antibiotic agents. The aim is to identify substances that attack the ...

The Stokes lab (Department of Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences) specializes in antibiotics and mechanisms of host-microbe interaction. The lab's discovery of Enterololin and the AI-assisted ...

The development and spread of antibiotic resistance represents one of the greatest threats to global health. To overcome these resistances, drugs with novel modes of action are urgently needed.

Widely prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotics such as amoxicillin can kill off many types of bacteria indiscriminately, including harmless strains. But that can lead to resistance that bugs can pass on ...

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 ...

Many life-threatening bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to existing antibiotics. Researchers have now discovered a new class of antibiotics with a unique spectrum of activity and mechanism ...
