antibiotics

Sulopenem becomes the first oral penem antibiotic approved in the United States, expanding non-IV treatment options for UTIs.

Gut microbes can protect or sensitize each other to drugs, even to non-antibiotics.

As scientific output grows, the risk of a promising drug getting lost increases, but advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning may prevent that.

In a mix of innovation and accident, researchers developed a new antibiotic that has broad efficacy across Gram-positive bacteria.

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.
