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 ...

In a bid to better understand heteroresistance, researchers have identified two new ways that bacteria can increase their resistance to antibiotics. Researchers at Uppsala University (Sweden) have ...

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 ...

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 ...

A small molecule shaped like a lasso may be a powerful tool in the fight against infectious diseases. A small molecule shaped like a lasso may be a powerful tool in the fight against infectious ...

A new experimental antibiotic has stunned researchers by wiping out dangerous bacteria at concentrations roughly two orders of magnitude lower than some of the drugs doctors rely on today. Early lab ...

Researchers studying antimicrobial-resistant E. coli – the leading cause of human death due to antimicrobial resistance worldwide – have identified a mechanism in dogs that may render multiple ...

Gonorrhoea is resistant to nearly all antibiotics, but one commonly used for urinary tract infections (UTIs) may be able to treat drug-resistant cases. The sexually transmitted infection (STI) is ...
