Antibiotics

It is well known that many strains of Staphylococcus are resistant to antibiotics, and research groups around the world seek new targets in the bacteria to decrease their infectious potential. Head of KFU research group, Leading Research Associate Konstantin Usachev, comments, "The most popular target for antibiotics is the protein…

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Antibiotics are important drugs that can save lives, but using them too often can lead to dangerous strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. New Penn State research explores how to communicate risk while encouraging people to seek information on their own. The researchers found that a brief animated…

University of Melbourne researchers are finding ways to beat dangerous superbugs with 'resistance resistant' antibiotics, and it could help in our fight against coronavirus (COVID-19) complications. As bacteria evolve, they develop strategies that undermine antibiotics and morph into 'superbugs' that can resist most available treatments and cause potentially lethal infections.…

The latest generation of tetracyclines -- a class of powerful, first-line antibiotics -- was designed to thwart the two most common ways bacteria resist such drugs. But a new study from researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found that genes representing…

Ticker By EUobserver 2. Jun, 07:21 The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that the increased use of antibiotics to combat the Covid-19 pandemic will strengthen bacterial resistance and ultimately lead to more deaths during the crisis and beyond, the Guardian reports.
