Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, Cambridge researchers have shown. The team showed that ...

Advanced microscopy techniques give scientists valuable clues for how to fight an enzyme that is leading to a rise in cases of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections worldwide. Bacteria draw from ...

One of the greatest medical threats of our time is the impending one of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Slowly but surely over decades of antibiotic use, the bugs we fight with drugs have evolved to ...

Learn how plastic pollution is creating new pathways for antibiotic resistance to become an even bigger public health threat.

Researchers have found that antibiotic-resistant bacteria are fatter and shorter than their antibiotic-sensitive parental strains, and that these morphological changes correlate with changes in the ...

Our bodies are a constant battlefield between pathogens and our immune system. But beyond this battle, there’s a larger war being fought between humans and drug-resistant bacteria. When antibiotics ...

Bacteria can mutate surprisingly fast to resist antibiotics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Antibiotic resistance is one of the ...

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria adapt or evolve to survive antibiotic treatment. This is a big issue as it can cause antibiotics to become less effective. If a person has a bacterial ...

One of the pillars of modern medicine is showing its cracks, according to a new report from the World Health Organization. Antibiotics have turned once-deadly infections into minor inconveniences.

Scientists in Switzerland have announced the discovery of a new class of antibiotics shown to be effective against deadly, drug-resistant bacteria. The antibiotic, called zosurabalpin, works by ...

Infection rates from drug-resistant "nightmare bacteria" rose almost 70% between 2019 and 2023, according to a new report from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scientists. Bacteria that are ...

Bacteria draw from an arsenal of weapons to combat the drugs intended to kill them. Among the most prevalent of these weapons are ribosome-modifying enzymes. These enzymes are growing increasingly ...
