antibiotics

Plectasin forms dense structures on bacterial membranes by binding to unique lipids in bacterial cell walls.

Biofilms render most antibiotics ineffective, but ultrasound may be the key to clearing these chronic infections.

Could the solution to antibiotic resistance already have been discovered? Microbiologists and historians probe medieval and ancient texts to find out.

Researchers identified existing medications that target novel pathways in E. coli, offering a potential solution to the growing antibiotic resistance threat.

Fully synthetic approaches expand the repertoire of possible antimicrobials to overcome existing antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

The physical arrangement of cells within a biofilm significantly influences bacteria’s access to nutrients and may affect antibiotic susceptibility.

One of the most common bacterial infections, urinary tract infections, may have promising new therapeutics on the way.

By identifying the types of molecules that accumulate inside P. aeruginosa, researchers drew a roadmap for new antibiotic development for combatting these deadly pathogens.

A new mechanism for inhibiting membrane proteins could pave the way for more effective antibiotics.

Scientists created a pill that, when swallowed, collects snapshots of the gastrointestinal microbiome, revealing striking differences along the GI tract.
