The model's ability to detect resistance without needing expert-defined rules also means it could potentially be applied to other bacteria or even in agriculture, where antibiotic resistance is ...

And the international scientists also found that 97 per cent of the bacterial samples carried plasmids – tiny DNA ‘toolkits’ – that help spread antibiotic resistance. Join the Manchester ...

Researchers believe they have identified a new class of antibiotics, nearly three decades since the last new one came to market. Teams at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada and the University ...

The discovery responds to a critical need for new antimicrobial medicines in the threatening era of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The findings were published in Nature. Sir Alexander Fleming’s ...

They have published the findings in the journal Nature. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and develop resistance against existing antibiotics. It is a major public health crisis ...

UIC researchers working with collaborators at McMaster University in Canada determined how the new antibiotic works and why the drug evades bacterial resistance. "The holy grail in the field is to ...

Treating these recurrences can be challenging when standard antibiotics fail due to antibiotic resistance, highlighting the need for new treatment options. The drug, known as gepotidacin but sold ...

Antibiotic resistance in veterinary medicine is an ever-increasing problem, just as it is in human medicine. Efforts in veterinary medicine to reduce the use of antibiotics to only those necessary ...
