Antimicrobial Targets

Research from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology could lead to new antibiotics

Engineer's work with such nanomaterials could lead to effective, chemical-free disinfecting wipes

Researchers report new data on honey proteins that could lead to new medicinal applications

Results show that Brazil, India, and Vietnam have the greatest diversity in resistance genes, while Australia and New Zealand have the lowest

Researchers made the unexpected finding that bacteria that mutated to become resistant to quinolone antibiotics also became more resistant to triclosan

Systematic approach could help bring drug discovery ‘back to nature’

A recent study published in the Journal of Food Science found that extracts and isolated compounds from avocado seeds can potentially be used as a natural additive incorporated into ready-to-eat foods to control microbes that cause Listeria

New BD Phoenix™ M50 System delivers modularity, reliability, affordability, and high-quality susceptibility results needed by clinical microbiology laboratories worldwide

Research team from University of Houston find that the light-activated gold nanoparticles destroy potentially deadly bacterial cells in seconds

North Carolina State University researchers have developed an effective and environmentally benign method to combat bacteria by engineering nanoscale particles that add the antimicrobial potency of silver to a core of lignin, a ubiquitous substance found in all plant cells. The findings introduce ideas for better, greener and safer nanotechnology and could lead to enhanced efficiency of antimicrobial products used in agriculture and personal care.
