Other factors that allow the spread of antibiotic resistance are poor infection control, inadequate sanitary conditions, and inappropriate food handling. In the absence of proper hygienic conditions, ...

Antibiotic resistance can develop to new antibiotics even before they reach the market, undermining their future ...

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow ...

Complementary discoveries have the potential to enhance treatment options for antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers at ...

In Latin America, it appears that bacteria resistant to carbapenem antibiotics have different resistance mechanisms than similar bacteria found in Africa and Asia. Two pathogens are of particular ...

Researchers made a “huge breakthrough” when they did an experiment “purely out of curiosity” which solves “a decades-long ...

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research have ...

Oysters are constantly filtering bacteria from the water, so they are a good place to look for potential antibiotics.’ ...

[5,23,25–28] It is uncertain what the mechanism is that leads to this difference in re-infection rates. The authors postulate that these oral antibiotics may have prevented biofilm formation on ...

Testing new antibiotics in India, South Africa, or Brazil, where they are needed most, makes scientific sense. But it’s not without challenges. If the drugs lack global viability, they are less likely ...
