Multidrug-resistant bacteria kill five million people each year, with newly resistant germs emerging faster than scientists ...

A new study reveals an alarming number of mechanisms throughout the life-cycle of plastic that could enhance or spread ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo chemist Diana Aga has long researched how unchecked antibiotics in wastewater contribute to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Water treatment plants don’t ...

Metals, antidepressants, climate change: UB chemist Diana Aga leads $3 million NSF grant to find other causes of antimicrobial resistance Diana Aga, Henry M. Woodburn Chair of Chemistry at the ...

They found that certain metals enhance bacterial killing by bacteriophages in blood. The team began their study by treating ExPEC, multidrug-resistant extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli, with phage ...

The research, which appears in the journal Microbial Biotechnology, adds weight to earlier findings. Indeed, previous research suggests that because bacteria adapt to heavy metal and radioactive ...

High prenatal copper exposure resulted in significantly lower microbial diversity at 3 months, although this effect diminished over time. Bacterial taxa also shifted in response to exposures.

This likely came from natural soil sources and pesticide use. We also examined how bees can help us understand emerging concerns such as the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes.

A Cross-Sectional Study of Dairy Cattle Metagenomes Reveals Increased Antimicrobial Resistance in Animals Farmed in a Heavy Metal Contaminated Environment. Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020; 11 DOI ...

Compounds containing metals could hold the key to the next generation of antibiotics to combat the growing threat of global antibiotic resistance. Researchers, working with a network of ...
