As it stands, antibiotics kill bacteria indiscriminately. Because the drugs are used so widely, increasing numbers of dangerous bugs are growing resistant, threatening one of modern medicine's ...

The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria could lead to a catastrophic rise in infection-related deaths, according to new research led by Northern Arizona University. The question likely isn't ...

Antibiotic and antifungal drug resistance pose a major public health threat. Live Science is covering the spread of this problem and the potential solutions that are emerging in turn. A crisis ...

Imagine that the next time you catch a stomach bug and antibiotics fail to work, you knock back a vial of clear liquid. The solution teems with bacteriophages, viruses resembling tiny rocket ships.

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of antibiotics, a type of drug - such as penicillin or ciprofloxacin - that kills or stops the growth of bacteria. When bacteria ...

Here, authors present a quantitative mutant screening technique that deconstructs how factors like antibiotic mechanism and genetic background interact to govern resistance evolution.

In an intensive Wintersession course at Brown, undergraduates learned lab techniques and performed experiments as they sought breakthrough discoveries to inform future antibiotic treatments.

Purpose The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has led to increasing efforts to reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics in primary care, but potential hazards from bacterial infection continue to ...

Plus a free 15-track CD featuring new music from The Weather Station, The Delines, Richard Dawson, Sunny War and more ...

Seizure medicines can affect the way the body handles antibiotics. But the reverse is also true: some antibiotics affect levels of seizure medicines. If you are taking doxycycline (Vibramycin) for ...

For this reason, the FDA expressed concerns that ongoing use of the products may enable bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics to increase rapidly. Trace amounts of some agents, like TCC, are ...
