Scientists at the University of Surrey have discovered that a natural antioxidant commonly found in green tea can help eliminate antibiotic resistant bacteria. The study, published in the Jo... Read more
A new Trojan horse approach could lead to treatments for some antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacterium can be sterilized by hijacking its haem-acquisition syst... Read more
The life-threatening bacteria called MRSA can cripple a hospital since it spreads quickly and is resistant to treatment. But scientists report that they are now making advances in a new tech... Read more
The new procedure shortens wait times from three days and could help reduce the spread of superbug bacteria. The discovery of antibiotics in the early part of the 20th century changed modern... Read more
New research published today in the journal Nature reveals an Achilles’ heel in the defensive barrier which surrounds drug-resistant bacterial cells. The findings pave the way for a new wave... Read more
Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a small molecule that prevents bacteria from forming into biofilms, a frequent cause of infections. The anti-biofilm peptide... 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
Through the misuse and overuse of antibiotics, several types of bacteria have become resistant to drugs that were designed to kill them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estima... Read more
