NewsResearchers decode new antibiotic clovibactin
Researchers have discovered and deciphered the mode of action of a new antibiotic, clovibactin, which is derived from a soil bacterium.
-
NewsResearchers reveal how Salmonella relatives grow together in the gut
Scientists investigating the dynamics of bacterial coexistence in the gut discovered how a secondary group of bacteria can thrive when closely related resident bacteria are present.
-
NewsLifestyle changes while on antibiotics can help to fight AMR
Cooking food thoroughly and avoiding some types of vegetables and salad during a course of antibiotic treatment could potentially reduce antibiotic resistance, by preventing bacteria carrying resistance genes getting into the gut.
-
NewsOxygen charge can battle multidrug-resistant pathogens
Researchers have introduced a molecular singlet oxygen battery that can be ‘charged’ with reactive oxygen, which it then releases in deep tissue layers to target methicillin-resistant staphylococcus.
-
FeaturesSourcing the next generation of drug leads from the human microbiome
Could the answers to the problem of antimicrobial resistance be found inside the human body?
-
NewsSynthetic antibiotic could be effective against drug-resistant superbugs
Researchers have found a new antibiotic strategy to defeat gram-negative bacteria like Salmonella, Pseudomonas and E. coli, making use of a synthetic molecule that works fast and is durable in animal tests.
-
NewsAMR poses threat in all 35 countries in the Americas
569,000 deaths were linked to bacterial antimicrobial resistance in all 35 countries of the WHO Region of the Americas, according to a new study.
-
NewsEgyptian cotton gene grants powerful resistance to resurging blight
An overlooked gene found in Egyptian cotton confers powerful resistance to bacterial blight, a plant disease that is threatening cotton production worldwide.
-
NewsHigh diversity of cell appendages found in hospital superbug
Bioinformaticians have detected an unexpectedly wide diversity of certain cell appendages in hospital pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii that are associated with pathogenicity.

OpinionMe, my microbes and I: rethinking antimicrobial stewardship and personal health education
Research into, and therefore general understanding of women’s health and disease, has been under funded and taboo for a long time.
-
News Researchers discover method to overcome antimicrobial resistance
Scientists have found a new class of molecules that inhibit the efflux pump of a bacterial cell.
-
NewsDeadly fungus beaten with treatment blocking fatty acid formation
Researchers have discovered a new way to attack fungal infections by blocking fungi from being able to make fatty acids, the major component of fats.
-
NewsStudy demonstrates efficacy of new short-term resistant TB treatment
Four patients at Boston Medical Center (BMC) Tuberculosis Clinic were cured of MDR TB with a six-month regimen that included bedaquiline, pretomanid and linezolid (BPaL).
-
NewsCholera-like bacteria may be crucial in development of new antibiotics
Researchers have produced a reconstructed version of the PomAB motor protein complex in a bacterium called Vibrio alginolyticus that resembles the cholera bacterium.
-
NewsNon-invasive technology tests for malaria without a blood sample
A novel testing platform under development by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and CytoAstra, LLC could provide a new noninvasive test for malaria that doesn’t require a blood sample.
-
NewsRapid test for cystitis deploys phages to destroy pathogens
Scientists have developed a rapid test that employs the natural viral predators of bacteria, bacteriophages. The researchers also genetically modified the phages to make them more efficient at destroying the pathogenic bacteria.

NewsNew Staph spa type emerges in Jordan as primary cause of dairy bovine mastitis
A new spa type of Staphylococcus aureus has emerged in Jordan which has been identified as the primary cause of dairy cow mastitis in the region.

NewsResearchers use mass spectrometry to explore antimicrobial resistance
Researchers are using single-cell mass spectrometry to determine whether cells with persistent pathogens will also have less intracellular drug levels to potentially explain antimicrobial treatment failure.
