New research has found some compounds effective in blocking the proliferation of certain bacteria, raising hopes of a new class of drugs to combat antibiotic resistant infections 

Blocking how bacteria proliferate has led towards novel compounds that may combat antibiotic resistance. But antibiotics are very poor drugs to sell, so who’s going to pay?

New research explores strategies to develop new technologies for fighting antibacterial resistance

Detection of the emergence of antibiotic resistance in near real-time could contribute to fighting this recurrent problem

A new lab test that detects antibiotic resistance genes quickly could help doctors choose the right drugs to knock out superbugs.  

A better understanding of the genes associated with antibiotic resistance may contribute to the development of rapid detection methods

New research purports to help people stay healthy by developing a real-time water bug testing that could precisely identify the culprits responsible for waterborne disease

Tackling the risks of infection and other illnesses remains a challenge. Might the solution come from the sea?

By targeting the listeria bacteria he is seeking how to improve the safety of our foods

If you contract a bacterial infection it might be impossible to kill the invaders with the antibiotics available today

More people die of hospital germs than of HIV every year. The reason is that antibiotics are becoming useless against an ever bigger number of multi-resistant bacteria that are spreading throughout the world. Today, this is not just an issue in hospitals, but throughout society at large

“We need our own kind of Kyoto treaty for antibiotics: the point is, we should treat antibiotics as a non-renewable source”
