Kamini Walia, senior scientist at ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research), explains how the overuse of antibiotics is ...

Vermicomposting earthworms help turn manure into organic fertilizer, representing a potential tool against antibiotic ...

Scientists have uncovered new clues about why diabetic foot infections can become so severe and difficult to treat. By ...

Plastics entering natural environments quickly become coated with microbial biofilms called the 'plastisphere', known to be hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes, the team, including researchers ...

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a vulnerability in drug-resistant bacteria: zinc—or a lack thereof. Depriving bacteria of certain nutrients can cause important physiological changes ...

Current methods for assessing antibiotic resistance typically rely on bacterial cultures, a process that can take up to 2 days. Such delays can be critical in urgent clinical settings. To address this ...

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing health threat, but its evolution outside laboratory settings is poorly understood. Bacteria living in the human gut are now found to evolve persistent ...

Researchers have devised a method for investigating how effective antibiotics are against different bacterial strains.

As more bacteria that cause diseases become increasingly resistant to antibiotics, we need more ways to fight off infections. That's where this new patch comes in. With just a gentle electric zap, ...

Adding bacteria-killing nanoparticles to vinegar could help treat multiple infections—and potentially help fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The tiny particles made from carbon and cobalt ...
