Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at the University of Basel created a new test that tracks individual bacteria ...

A new study from the CDC found that infection rates for a drug-resistant “nightmare bacteria” are on the rise, increasing nearly 70% between 2019 and 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the NDM ...

By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D. A lung pathogen grows stronger in iron-rich environments, but at the cost of its own virulence, revealing a hidden trade-off behind chronic infection. Study: Iron dictates ...

After lung transplantation, infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa independently predicted antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), researchers found. Through a series of mouse-model studies, the researchers ...

Targeted protein degradation presents a promising strategy to address antimicrobial resistance, focusing on innovative ...

From diagnostics to CRISPR and policy reform, explore how science and society are working together to combat the rising ...

A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...

Difficult-to-treat infections caused by dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria are on an alarming upward climb, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned in a recent health alert. Known ...

A group of gut bacteria successfully hindered recurrent Clostridium difficile infection in mice, offering alternative therapeutic strategies to antibiotics and fecal transplant. To investigate whether ...

A research team at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Tucson is developing a drug that works in combination with copper to kill bacteria, including those that cause MRSA, a type of staph ...
