Experts say this new study highlights a more than tenfold increase in AMR-related infections in children in just three years.

This process, known as bacterial conjugation, is a key mechanism by which genetic traits, particularly antibiotic resistance, are shared among bacterial populations. While conjugation has ...

Or is it? The "mar" network of genes was discovered and named in the context of multiple antibiotic resistance. At the same time, it is one of the most complex gene regulatory networks in gut ...

A highly drug-resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii, mainly of the globally dominant GC2 lineage, has been found circulating in a Malaysian hospital, raising major public health concerns.

Recent research shows it can destroy some of the world’s most dangerous bacteria. “Antibiotic resistance is one of the major threats to modern medicine,” said Professor Ronan McCarthy, who led the ...

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.

Researchers say they have discovered a new class of antibiotics that could treat drug-resistant bacteria, the first to reach the market in nearly three decades. The new molecule, called ...

A virulent strain of antibiotic-resistant ‘superbug’ bacteria that causes severe disease has been found circulating in a Malaysian hospital, a new study by academics has revealed. The threat ...

The reason for this is antibiotic resistance – a gradual decrease in the sensitivity of pathogens to drugs. Resistance is incredibly dangerous – at some point, a superbug may appear that is resistant ...

A virulent strain of antibiotic-resistant superbug that causes severe disease has been found circulating in a Malaysian hospital—posing significant challenges to global public health ...

Paenibacillus was found to produce a new substance that attacks antibiotic-resistant bacteria. "Lariocidine is not susceptible to many of the mechanisms that make disease-causing bacteria ...

A team of researchers from McMaster University has identified a new molecule – lariocidin – that can challenge some of the most drug-resistant bacteria on Earth. The discovery responds to a critical ...
