Many important antibiotics are becoming less effective against bacterial infections, as bacteria continue to evolve, gaining ...

There, they interact with harmful bacteria already present in the environment. Those microbes respond by evolving a resistance to the antibiotics, thus making them harder to kill when they infect us.

A new study from Emory University addresses the growing global crisis of antibiotic-resistant infections. Many of these drug-resistant bacteria are spread through hospitals, and there are few ...

Antibiotics are supposed to wipe out bacteria, yet the drugs can sometimes hand microbes an unexpected advantage. A new study from Rutgers Health shows that ciprofloxacin, a staple treatment for ...

An international study by Michigan State University and partner researchers has uncovered a hidden danger lurking in animal ...

Antibiotics are one of the greatest triumphs in the history of medical science - but these lifesaving tools have a dark side.

“This novel finding repurposes an existing drug, exploits a newly identified vulnerability in an antibiotic-resistant bacterium, and opens doors for developing new antibiotics targeting similar ...

In nature as well as in our bodies, bacteria predominantly live as organized communities called biofilms. These structures play a central role in antibiotic resistance mechanisms. In a ...

Those without the ability to use their mini-harpoons eventually died, but the unaltered bacteria began killing to survive. “This isn’t just happening in the lab,” D’Souza clarified.
