CARB-X announced today that it’s awarding $1.2 million to a research team at Harvard University to develop enhanced antibiotics for multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut ...

Drugmakers must focus on developing new antibiotics to fight hospital “superbugs” including meningitis and other infections that can resist last-line treatments, the World Health Organization (WHO) ...

Researchers report that photodynamic therapy increases antibiotic penetration and disrupts resistance mechanisms in laboratory strains.

Inside every human is a thriving zoo of bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microscopic organisms collectively known as the microbiome. Trillions of microbes live in the digestive tract alone, a ...

Scientists from Cornell University, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and elsewhere have found that a surplus of membrane proteins may help bacteria survive antibiotic exposure. These ...

A mineral-hogging fungus can “bully” bacteria into becoming more antibiotic resistant, according to new work published June 20 in the journal PLOS Biology by Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists. The ...

A team of Georgia Tech University scientists have designed a steel-and copper-based material that doesn’t need to be treated with detergents or antibiotics to remain bacteria-free. This unique ...

Animals house thousands of commensal bacterial species in their guts, which play an important role in maintaining the host’s health. 1 However, antibiotic treatment indiscriminately wipes out both ...
