There is only one marketed antibiotic for MRSA that can be taken orally A team of University of Notre Dame researchers led by Mayland Chang and Shahriar Mobashery have discovered a new class... Read more
A chemist based at the University of Copenhagen has just taken out a patent for a drug that can make previously multidrug-resistant bacteria responsive to antibiotics once again. Jørn Bolsta... Read more
Researchers at Brown and MIT have discovered a way to increase the potency of ADEPs by up to 1,200 times. A new class of molecules called acyldepsipeptides — ADEPs — may provide a new way to... Read more
Many fungi have antibacterial properties. Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that one gene in a common fungus acts as a master regulator, and deleting it has opened acces... Read more
Our researchers discover use for phages in fighting Clostridium difficile A specialist team of scientists from our Department of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation has isolated viruses tha... Read more
“The mechanism that PPMOs use to kill bacteria is revolutionary” Researchers at Oregon State University and other institutions today announced the successful use of a new type of antibacteri... Read more
McMaster University researchers are making major inroads in the battle against so-called superbugs and laying the groundwork for highly effective antibiotics of the future, a scientific jour... Read more
The overuse of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture has long been known to foster the emergence of germs that are resistant to drugs. On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and... Read more
At very small doses this compound inhibits the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Bacterial resistance to drugs leads pharmaceutical labs to be in constant search for new antibiotics t... Read more
Low doses of silver make bacteria more susceptible to antibiotic attack, paving the way for new therapies for drug-resistant and recurrent infections Slipping bacteria some silver could give... Read more
An antibiotic has been found to stimulate its own production. The findings, to be published in PNAS, could make it easier to scale up antibiotic production for commercialisation. Scientists... Read more
Using the same devious mechanism that enables some bacteria to shrug off powerful antibiotics, scientists have developed solar-powered nanofilters that remove antibiotics from the water in l... Read more
In 2008 researchers from the University of Southern Denmark showed that the drug thioridazine, which has previously been used to treat schizophrenia, is also a powerful weapon against antibi... Read more
Laboratory experiments showed that the colloid antibodies attached to and inactivated only their intended targets without harming other cells In an advance toward coping with bacteria that s... Read more
An international team of scientists has discovered an important natural antibiotic called dermcidin, produced by our skin when we sweat. It is possible that the newly discovered antibiotic... Read more
