Two newly discovered mechanisms in bacteria have been identified that can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. Changing the number of copies of resistance genes in bacteria ...
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 ...
Dealing with an infection isn't as straightforward as simply killing the pathogen. The body also needs to carefully steer and ...
Antimicrobial resistance is largely due to the overuse of antibiotics in humans, animals, and plants, with nearly all regions throughout the world affected by antibiotic-resistant diseases. Current ...
Antibiotics are widely considered one of the most important advances in the history of medicine. Their introduction into clinical practice during the 1940s marked a major milestone in the control of ...
Two newly discovered mechanisms in bacteria have been identified that can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. Changing the number of copies of resistance genes in bacteria ...
Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The ...
Scientists from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a method to isolate genes from amounts of microbial DNA so tiny that it would take 20,000 samples to weigh as much as a ...
Researchers have discovered a significant and previously unknown mechanism that many bacteria use to resist antibiotics. Researchers have discovered a significant and previously unknown mechanism that ...
