Drug-resistant infections are a major public health threat around the world. To fight them, scientists are constantly trying ...

Bacterial resistance negates the effect of antibiotics in the treatment of infection. Using mouse models, researchers now show that if antibiotics are administered with an enzyme called endolysin, the ...

Rising heat and drought may spur bacteria to exchange antibiotic resistance genes, with potential risks to human health.

Antibiotic resistance tends to stabilize over time, according to Sonja Lehtinen, PhD, from the University of Lausanne and colleagues. The team published its study, “The evolution of antibiotic ...

A new Rutgers Health study reveals a surprising twist in the antibiotic resistance story: instead of simply killing bacteria, drugs like ciprofloxacin can actually trigger a kind of microbial survival ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is mainly driven by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, which allows resistant bacteria to ...

When many disease-causing bacteria encounter penicillin, they are not always destroyed right away, shifting into a temporary survival state called antibiotic tolerance. This state allows them to ...

“One of the most universally accepted beliefs around the world,” said Brad Spellberg, MD, chief medical officer at Los Angeles General Medical Center, “is that when you take antibiotics, you must ...

Antibiotic resistance tends to stabilize over time, according to a study published April 3, 2025 in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by Sonja Lehtinen from the University of Lausanne, ...
