Antibiotic persistence helps a small subpopulation of bacteria survive treatment without becoming genetically resistant, often leading to relapse and prolonged infection. Researchers are uncovering ...

The study found that timely administration of antibiotics and fluids leads to higher patient discharge to home.

Study reveals that Pseudomonas bacteria’s ability to resist toxic attacks from bacterial competitors leaves them more sensitive to antibiotics. Some bacteria use a kind of molecular ‘speargun’ to ...

Antibiotic overuse is a key driver in the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a major global health crisis. Researchers have provided compelling evidence that short-course antibiotic treatments ...

For as long as we’ve known that soil bacteria manufacture molecular weapons to fight each other, we’ve been swiping their battle plans. In clinics and hospitals, those turf-war weapons have become ...

New research suggests drought can stoke antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria, and those genes can end up in human pathogens. One of the longest running battles on Earth has been ongoing for ...

Superbugs, bacteria that no longer respond to standard antibiotics, aren't just a future threat. They are already here, and India appears to be at the epicentre. A new large-scale, multinational study ...
