NewsCurrent standards for testing wound dressings don’t work for biofilms, study finds
Current standards for testing wound dressings do not work for biofilms, particularly in the case of polymicrobial biofilms, a new study has found. Testing of wound dressings is predominantly carried out on single species of microbes in isolation, even though the wound sterile environment is not sterile and is often ...

NewsPhotodynamic action weakens resistance to antibiotics in bacteria that attack airways
A study of photodynamic inactivation (PDI) showed it has a novel capacity to modify bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics according to dosage, reducing the resistance and persistence of both standard and clinical strains.
-
NewsResearchers create molecule to tackle antimicrobial resistance
Researchers at Maynooth University, working as part of an international team, have created a new molecule that could help in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria. Source: Ella Maru Studios Researchers have created a new molecule to fight drug-resistant bacteria Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi ...

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.
-
NewsAntibacterial material developed for use with internal medical devices
Researchers have developed an effective and flexible antimicrobial material that could be used to coat medical devices placed inside the body, such as hip replacements or pacemakers.
-
NewsNew way to count microbes speeds research and cuts waste
Researchers have developed a new way of counting microorganisms that works as much as 36 times faster than conventional methods, cuts plastic use and decreases the cost and carbon footprint of biomedical research.
-
NewsStudy demonstrates antimicrobial action of polyalthic acid from copaiba oil
Polyalthic acid from copaiba oil is an effective antibacterial and should be used to develop alternative medications that can contribute to the effort to overcome antimicrobial resistance, according to a new study.
-
NewsViruses discovered as new therapy option for atopic dermatitis
Researchers have discovered a new approach to atopic dermatitis - bacteriophages, which colonize the skin as viral components of the microbiome and can drive the development of innovative atopic dermatitis therapies.
-
NewsResearchers pioneer safe chemotherapy methods for treating bacterial infections
Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a threat to human lives, and yet the development of new drugs to treat bacterial infections is slow. A group of proven drugs used in cancer treatment for decades could possibly be the solution. A new class of antibiotics is now being developed by researchers at ...
