Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Canadian consumers are largely fine with pork from gene-edited pigs — at least once the science and benefits are explained to ...

Scientists have described antimicrobial resistance as an overlooked pandemic. Improving surveillance can help prevent deadly ...

The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for ...

Antibiotic resistance genes were typically isolated by cloning from cultured bacteria or by PCR amplification. Those methods missed potential antibiotic resistance reservoirs because of ...

Certain antibiotic-resistant infections could be treated with precision medicine in the future, thanks to a new resource mapping plasmids the ultimate vehicle of rapid bacterial evolution.

Acquired resistance genes may allow bacteria to degrade or chemically modify antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. They may also produce or upregulate efflux pumps, which actively transport ...

Disadvantages of GMO foods can be allergic reactions or increased antibiotic resistance. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organisms that have had their genes altered in some way ...
