Antibiotics

Antibiotic resistance is rising fast, killing tens of thousands each year in the U.S. alone—and scientists are racing to find new ways to stop deadly bacteria. Now, researchers have uncovered how tiny viruses that infect bacteria, called phages, use specialized “protein antibiotics” to shut down a crucial bacterial machine known…

Bacteria are masters of survival, thriving even in the most extreme environments on Earth. A changing climate impacting these underexplored ecosystems, however, may be like opening Pandora’s box, unleashing bacteria resistant to conventional antibiotics into wider ecosystems. To better understand what genetic bacterial diversity is hidden in ice, researchers isolated…

When he was just a teenager trying to decide what to do with his life, César de la Fuente compiled a list of the world’s biggest problems. He ranked them inversely by how much money governments were spending to solve them. Antimicrobial resistance topped the list.  Twenty years on, the…

Investigators from the Food and Drug Administration are looking into a new outbreak of Salmonella Newport infections traced to moringa powder capsules. The implicated capsules are sold under the Rosabella brand. The moringa was distributed by Ambrosia Brands LLC. There is great concern that consumers may have the moringa capsules…

Pharmaceuticals that people globally rely on for daily health — including antibiotics, antidepressants and painkillers — are entering ecosystems via wastewater, posing poorly understood risks. Once there, aquatic insects can accumulate these chemical contaminants, with their predators transporting them back onto land, raising concern among scientists...Read More

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong have developed a plant-based composite formula that improves the condition of those who suffer from eczema. The moisturiser, called Anesinin, tames the toxicity of eczema-causing bacteria rather than existing methods that outright kill them. They said this helps combat the global challenge of…

Structure of the antibiotic decision-making algorithm. Credit: npj Digital Medicine (2026). DOI: 10.1038/s41746-026-02369-z New research by scientists at the University of Liverpool looks at how artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors make better choices when prescribing antibiotics for urinary tract infection (UTI), one of the world's most common bacterial infections.…

Published: February 09, 2026, 12:06 am A survey in Australia has revealed a minimal level of resistance to antibiotics of high importance to human health across three meat types. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) said there is a low risk of bacteria from raw retail meats being involved in…
