Antibiotics are no longer able to treat infections as effectively as they once did because many pathogens have developed ...

Microbiologist Karin Hjort discusses what heteroresistance is and how it could change the way we treat bacterial infections. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A team of researchers has discovered that latent antimicrobial resistance is more widespread across the world than known ...

Students at NWTC are looking for ways to fight antibiotic resistant bacteria as part of an eight-year project with Tiny Earth ...

Plant based molecules found in everyday foods and herbs could help rescue older antibiotics from rising drug resistance, ...

Bacterial infections have always posed problems for people, and we have found ways to treat them with antibiotics. But bacteria are constantly changing and evolving, and bacterial cells have ways to ...

Evolutionary biologist Tiffany Taylor explores the work being done to resensitize antibiotic-resistant bacteria to drugs as a strategy to defend ourselves against the growing antibiotic resistance ...

The bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes the world's most infectious disease Tuberculosis (TB), can survive antibiotic treatment and live longer by changing their outer fat coating, ...

Genes that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics are much more widespread in our environment than was previously realized. A new study shows that bacteria in almost all environments carry resistance ...

Scientists engineered phages to act as scaffolds to carry silver nanoparticles. Together, the two bacteria-killing components ...

Researchers report that, in laboratory cultures and animal models, a drug significantly reduces the ability of bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance, which might prolong antibiotic effectiveness.
