Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists are elucidating the ways ...

It has been a year ago since bacteria from war-wounded at hospitals in Ukraine were analyzed. The study showed that some of the bacteria types had total resistance to antibiotics. Now, the same ...

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a sophisticated molecular apparatus that many Gram‐negative bacterial pathogens deploy to inject effector proteins directly into host cells. This machinery ...

This guide deconstructs the pathophysiology of UTIs, exploring the anatomical risks in women, and the efficacy of antibiotic ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis developed a novel compound that effectively clears Gram-positive bacterial infections in mice, in particular skin and soft tissue ...

A 'happy accident' holds clues to combatting increasingly resistant strains. By Laura Baisas Published Aug 2, 2024 2:00 PM EDT Get the Popular Science daily ...

In recent years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly warned of the increase in microbes resistant to antibiotics. Especially multi-resistant bacteria threaten the global healthcare ...

Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics are a growing health problem. These dangerous pathogens are already thought to contribute to the deaths of over 4 million people every year, worldwide. The ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a novel compound that effectively clears bacterial infections in mice, including those that can result in rare but ...

Researchers from the universities in Konstanz and Vienna discover a new class of antibiotic that selectively targets Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea. These substances ...
