Wistar Institute scientists have designed a new class of antimicrobial compound, which, they claim, uniquely combines direct antibiotic killing of pan drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria, with a ...

Bacterial cells can also make enzymes that chemically inactivate antibiotics; these include beta-lactamase enzymes, which inactivate the class of antibiotics that includes penicillin. Bacterial cells ...

Researchers have discovered toxic protein particles, shaped like umbrellas, that soil bacteria known as Streptomyces secrete to squelch competitors, especially others of their own species.

Researchers say they have discovered a new class of antibiotics that could treat drug-resistant bacteria, the first to reach the market in nearly three decades. The new molecule, called lariocidin ...

About a decade ago, researchers in UC Santa Barbara chemistry professor Guillermo Bazan’s lab began to observe a recurring challenge in their research: Some of the compounds they were developing to ...

These toxic proteins, which are produced by soil bacteria called Streptomyces as they battle their microbial competitors, have now been described in Nature. There are untold numbers of microbial ...

We have many things in common with one another, but there are also things about each of us that are unique, like our fingerprints, our genome, and our gut microbiome. We carry trillions of microbes in ...

How bacteria adhere to cells: Basis for the development of a new class of antibiotics Bartonella bacteria use certain proteins -- conserved pathomechanism in other bacterial species ...

Researchers develop molecules for a new class of antibiotics that can overcome drug resistant bacteria. ScienceDaily . Retrieved July 23, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 02 ...

These resistance mechanisms can be passed on to progeny bacteria or shared with other bacteria in the environment. “There were 4.95 million deaths associated with antibiotic resistance in 2019, ...
