New study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Human history was forever changed with the discovery of antibiotics in 1928. Infectious diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis and sepsis were widespread and lethal until antibiotics made them ...

Microbiologist Karin Hjort discusses what heteroresistance is and how it could change the way we treat bacterial infections. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Share on Pinterest Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that effectively fights several bacteria while sparing helpful bacteria in the gut. Guido Mieth/Getty Images Antibiotics are valuable in ...

Antibiotic-driven modifications to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) have been suspected of giving rise to antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics can alter methylation patterns in rRNA, changing rRNA ...

Researchers at the University of Maine have discovered that a common interaction between a bacterium and a fungus may ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to new research. The modified ribosomes have changes specifically in the regions where antibiotics latch on to and ...

Antibiotic treatment duration was not linked to improved outcomes for patients hospitalized with CAP, suggesting a need for tailored prescribing.

Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli have built-in gatekeepers, porins, and pumps that decide what gets in or out, including antibiotics. The bacteria's genetic control room tightly regulates these ...

Investigators examined whether early systemic antibiotic prophylaxis reduces ventilator-associated pneumonia incidence in mechanically ventilated adults with acute brain injury.

The antibiotics typically used to treat traveler’s diarrhea are becoming less effective, researchers recently reported in ...
