Since graphene prevents bacteria from physically attaching to a surface, it has the added advantage that you do not risk increasing antibiotic resistance, unlike with other chemical alternatives ...

Scientists say they have developed a new type of antibiotic to treat a bacteria that is resistant to most current antibiotics and kills a large percentage of people with an invasive infection.

More and more disease-causing bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. The number of deaths caused by infections with antibiotic-resistant microorganisms is projected to reach 10 million a ...

Scientists have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. Two publicly-funded ...

“Any new antibiotic class that has the ability to treat infections caused by multi-drug-resistant bacteria such as carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) would be a significant ...

A groundbreaking antibiotic discovery might finally tip the balance in the global fight against drug-resistant bacteria. Scientists have unveiled a rare molecule with a fresh way to stop dangerous ...

The hope is that this finding could help eventually to fight other drug-resistant bacteria. "Discovery of the mode of action of zosurabalpin in Acinetobacter may enable the identification of other ...

With strong bactericidal properties, graphene has the potential to become a game changer in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So far there have been no efficient ways to control ...
