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

New mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance Date: May 20, 2024 Source: Uppsala University Summary: Two newly discovered mechanisms in bacteria have been identified that can contribute to the ...

Antibiotic-resistance deaths to surge from 2025-2050, study says By Nancy Lapid September 16, 20243:50 PM PDTUpdated September 16, 2024 ...

And lower dosages don’t automatically mean less chance of resistance, Dr. Langford said. What’s more important is whether you’re taking antibiotics at all, and for how long.

Additional work showed that when E. coli was grown with microplastics, more biofilm formed. Scientists have previously shown that biofilms help bacteria take on new characteristics that make them more ...

Resistance to antibiotics has led to one million worldwide deaths each year since 1990, and is expected to cause more than 39 million more fatalities by 2050, a new study has found.

For phage steering to work against antibiotic resistance, the phage has to bind to a molecule that’s involved in that resistance—and it’s not clear how often that fortuitous coincidence occurs.

Antibiotic resistance is a global issue that requires action and research at many levels. This study describes the molecular mechanism of the most prevalent type of fusidic acid resistance in the ...

Antibiotic Resistance Crisis: Weakness Seen in Bacteria Killing Millions Published Nov 15, 2024 at 2:11 PM EST Updated Nov 15, 2024 at 2:27 PM EST By Ian Randall ...

The class of antibiotics called macrolides have been used for decades to treat various bacterial infections. You can tell a macrolide antibiotic because they end in ‘–mycin’.

The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been dubbed the " silent pandemic " due to its stealthy global spread and lack of urgent public attention, in comparison to other pandemics such as ...

Inappropriate use of antibiotics appears to be one of the biggest drivers behind what is often dubbed the “antibiotic resistance crisis” – and that is a threat to public health across the globe.
