Antibiotic Resistance
Before now, no study had yet measured the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in fishmeal
Recent study shows individual microbes—such as bacteria—found in denser microbial populations mutate much less than microbes in sparser groups
Researchers have discovered that some of the carbohydrates in human milk not only possess antibacterial properties of their own but also enhance the effectiveness of the antibacterial proteins also present
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have shown that high-frequency alternating magnetic fields can be used to destroy bacteria that are encased in a slimy “biofilm” growing on a metal surface
New research announced at the 69th AACC Annual Scientific Meeting
Researchers made the unexpected finding that bacteria that mutated to become resistant to quinolone antibiotics also became more resistant to triclosan
Previous research has shown that pairing antibiotics can be more effective than using single drugs, but finding these perfect matches has proven elusive
Scientists have revealed that certain disease-causing bacteria get their resistance genes in a complex process involving bacterial 'sex'; this can potentially lead to a more targeted effort in preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance
Researchers have discovered a way to structurally modify vancomycin to make an already-powerful version of the antibiotic even more potent
