In lab and mouse experiments, cigarette smoke helps drug-resistant bacteria fight off the immune system.

A one thousand year old Anglo-Saxon remedy for eye infections which originates from a manuscript in the British Library has been found to kill the modern-day superbug MRSA in an unusual research collaboration at The University of Nottingham.

Antibiotic resistance is a catastrophic threat –and it threatens the achievements of modern medicine

With antibiotic resistance on the rise, scientists are looking for innovative ways to combat bacterial infections.

Study in mice could lead to better treatment and prevention for humans.

Most identifiable bacteria are harmless, but a few are linked to disease or are treatment-resistant.

Texas Tech researchers are beginning to understand how antibiotic-resistant bacteria travel aerially.

While predictions can be dangerous, especially concerning the future, it’s usually helpful to plan ahead. Here are five biomedical research topics the Emory University Lab Land team thinks will claim some attention in 2015.

The widespread overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to antibiotic-resistant infections—and rising fatalities. Now, the federal government has turned to Rutgers to help develop a new generation of antibiotics.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can share resources to cause chronic infections, Vanderbilt investigators have discovered. Like the individual members of a gang who might be relatively harmless alone, they turn deadly when they get together with their “friends.”
