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

A recently published study in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics, based in part on research from the Children’s Hospital of Michigan part of the Detroit Medical Center, shows that oral antibiotics are just as effective as those delivered intravenously to children struggling with osteomyelitis.  

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, will explore ways to speed production of the Ebola drug Zmapp with a $200,000 rapid-response grant from the National Science Foundation.

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.

One of the most mysterious forms of life may turn out to be a rich and untapped source of antibacterial drugs.

The pharmaceutical industry has withdrawn from the ‘antibiotic space.’ Is it time for research universities to step in?

As the threat of antibiotic resistance grows, scientists are turning to the human body and the trillion or so bacteria that have colonized us — collectively called our microbiota — for new clues to fighting microbial infections. They've logged an early success with the discovery of a new antibiotic candidate from vaginal bacteria, reports Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society.

New study suggests bacteria help program metabolic development.
