NewsNovel triple antibiotic combination offers breakthrough in combatting antibiotic resistance
A new study unveils a promising triple combination of antibiotics that significantly expands our arsenal against drug-resistant bacteria.
-
NewsNew antibiotic kills pathogenic bacteria, but spares healthy gut microbes
Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut.
-
NewsVaccine development program aims to prevent sepsis in newborns
Researchers have been awarded $3.96 million to develop a maternal vaccine that prevents sepsis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in newborns and infants.

NewsAntimicrobial peptide from cows delivers way to kill hypervirulent bacteria
An antimicrobial peptide from cows has potential for treating incurable infections from the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae.

NewsPathogens found on floors, ceilings and door handles of hospital toilets, study finds
Pathogenic bacteria and fungi, including multi-drug resistant ’superbugs’ have been found on the floors, ceilings, door handles and other surfaces of hospital toilets in the UK, with patient toilets the worst affected, a new study has found.
-
NewsStudy suggests antibiotic-resistant ‘superbugs’ are being passed from cats and dogs to their owners
Pet dogs and cats in Portugal and the UK were carrying the same antibiotic-resistant bacteria as their owners, highlighting the importance of including pet-owning households in surveillance programmes for antibiotic resistance.
-
NewsResistant bacteria can remain in the body for years
People with pre-existing conditions in particular can carry resistant germs and suffer from repeated infections for years, according to a new study.

NewsAMR leads to more deaths and illnesses in the WHO African region than anywhere else
More than 1.05 million deaths were associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and 250,000 deaths were attributable to AMR in the WHO African region, posing an unprecedented health threat.
-
NewsDiverse gut bacteria communities protect against harmful pathogens by nutrient blocking
A new study demonstrates that diverse communities of resident bacteria can protect the human gut from disease-causing microorganisms. However, this protective effect is lost when only single species of gut bacteria are present.
-
NewsSilver nanoparticles guarantee antimicrobial safe-tea
Researchers at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) have demonstrated green tea-silver nanoparticles as a powerful tool against pathogens such as bacteria and yeast.
-
NewsArtificial bladders shine light on bugs that cause urinary tract infections
The first study to use a sophisticated human tissue model to explore the interaction between host and pathogen for six common species that cause urinary tract infections suggest that the ‘one size fits all’ approach is inadequate.
-
NewsAntibiotic-resistant bacteria mapped in Ghana
The first genomic surveillance of Klebsiella bacteria in Ghana has shown that heavily antibiotic-resistant pathogens are only found in hospital settings, an insight which could be used to help inform control measures.
-
NewsHypervirulent bacteria emerging in healthy people
New ’hypervirulent’ strains of the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae have emerged in healthy people in community settings, prompting researchers to investigate how the human immune system defends against infection.
-
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.
-
NewsGlobal overview of antibiotic resistance determinants yields surprising findings
Scientists have developed a statistical model of the main determinants behind worldwide antibiotic resistance dynamics based on a large-scale spatial-temporal analysis.
-
NewsAlarming antibiotic resistance discovered in war-torn Ukraine
Microbiologists investigating bacterial resistance among the war-wounded Ukrainian patients treated in hospitals have warned that the entire European region is under threat after finding that many were affected by bacteria that exhibited an extremely high level of antibiotic resistance.
-
NewsNewborns worldwide dying from sepsis as antibiotics lose their bite
A global observational study involving more than 3,200 newborn babies suffering from sepsis in 11 countries has shown that many newborns are dying because the antibiotics used to treat sepsis are losing their effectiveness.
-
NewsPhage delivers double whammy against biofilms
A novel bacteriophage isolated from sewage water not only kills its target bacteria in the Klebsiella oxytoca complex but was unexpectedly found to be capable of disrupting biofilms produced by these bacteria.
-
NewsWARNING - GRAPHIC IMAGES: War in Ukraine fuelling rise in injuries infected with multi-drug resistant bacteria
New research being presented at this year’s ECCMID highlights the devastating impact of war injuries with complex bone and soft-tissue multidrug-resistant infections suffered by 13 civilians and one soldier during the war in Ukraine, who were transferred to Germany for specialist treatment.
-
NewsWHO warns of dearth of new antibiotics, especially those targeting drug-resistant pathogens
A review from WHO on the number of new antibiotics currently in the pipeline shows that just 12 new antibiotics have entered the market in the five years from 2017-21.
