In a new study, researchers show how so‑called TriPcides can target the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including antibiotic ...

BackgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a defining global health crisis, with waterborne transmission representing a critical dissemination pathway.

A molecule found in scorpion venom eliminated drug-resistant bacteria during research trials, and could revolutionize ...

As biotechnology becomes more routine, biosafety practices should account for what can persist after disposal—not only ...

Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Now, scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a powerful new CRISPR ...

At WIRED Health, British surgeon Ara Darzi said AI is set to transform the diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant infections. But a lack of incentives means innovation may not reach patients.

Climate change could increase hard-to-treat bacterial infections, two studies suggest. Heat boosted antibiotic resistance among bacteria found in artificially warmed grassland soils, researchers ...

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)—segments of DNA that help bacteria survive the effects of antibiotics—can be present in newborns within the first hours of life, according to research presented at ...

Antibiotic resistance is often associated with hospitals and the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture. Both are genuine problems, but new research suggests another potential culprit that many people ...

For as long as we’ve known that soil bacteria manufacture molecular weapons to fight each other, we’ve been swiping their battle plans. In clinics and hospitals, those turf-war weapons have become ...

Biomedical engineers from Brown University have developed a new wound dressing material that releases antibiotic drugs only when harmful bacteria are present in a wound. In the new study, published in ...
