The fight against bacterial infections, especially those caused by resistant pathogens, is in full swing with the search for new antibiotic agents. The aim is to identify substances that attack the ...

A new experimental antibiotic has stunned researchers by wiping out dangerous bacteria at concentrations roughly two orders ...

The development and spread of antibiotic resistance represents one of the greatest threats to global health. To overcome these resistances, drugs with novel modes of action are urgently needed.

As more and more bacteria develop resistance to the drugs designed to kill them, a new study has found that even a relatively new antibiotic isn’t immune. Researchers have uncovered a gene ...

The Stokes lab (Department of Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences) specializes in antibiotics and mechanisms of host-microbe interaction. The lab's discovery of Enterololin and the AI-assisted ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health problem. Few new molecules are in development, but a new antibiotic called clovibactin brings hope. This drug, isolated from bacteria that haven't ...

In a groundbreaking stride toward combating antibiotic resistance, researchers at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and NovoBiotic Pharmaceuticals have literally unearthed a novel antibiotic with ...

The FDA has approved GSK’s gepotidacin (Blujepa), the first new antibiotic class for gonorrhea in over three decades, ...

Many bacteria produce substances to gain an advantage over competitors in their highly competitive natural environment. Researchers have discovered a new so-called lantibiotic, namely epilancin A37.
