A new experimental antibiotic can handily knock off one of the world’s most notoriously drug-resistant and deadly bacteria —in lab dishes and mice, at least. It does so with a never-before-seen method ...

Scientists have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. Two publicly-funded ...

Programmable cell‑like particles seek out drug‑resistant bacteria, inject lethal payloads, and spare beneficial microbes.

Scientists in Switzerland have announced the discovery of a new class of antibiotics shown to be effective against deadly, drug-resistant bacteria. The antibiotic, called zosurabalpin, works by ...

A groundbreaking antibiotic discovery might finally tip the balance in the global fight against drug-resistant bacteria. Scientists have unveiled a rare molecule with a fresh way to stop dangerous ...

About a decade ago, researchers in UC Santa Barbara chemistry professor Guillermo Bazan’s lab began to observe a recurring challenge in their research: Some of the compounds they were developing to ...

Health professionals are in urgent need of new antibiotics to tackle resistant bacteria. Researchers have now modified the chemical structure of naturally occurring peptides to develop antimicrobial ...

A new experimental antibiotic has stunned researchers by wiping out dangerous bacteria at concentrations roughly two orders of magnitude lower than some of the drugs doctors rely on today. Early lab ...

A new antibiotic has proven as effective as the last remaining recommended treatment for gonorrhea, helping to assuage mounting fears among public health experts about the emergence of drug-resistant ...

Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. The ...
