The discovery could pave the way to starving antibioitc-resistant bacteria without new drugs or harmful chemicals.

Antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones exploit this vulnerability by preventing the DNA resealing, which kills the bacterial cell. However, resistance to these antibiotics is growing, so a deeper ...

A bacterial cell (left) is simultaneously attacked on two fronts: by antibiotics and by a positively charged, bactericidal peptide-based material that disrupts the structure of the bacteria’s ...

The rod-shaped tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, which the World Health Organization has once again ranked as the top infectious ...

Researchers have uncovered an unexpected vulnerability that could change how we fight deadly infections without using more drugs.

Recent estimates indicate that deadly antibiotic-resistant infections will rapidly escalate over the next quarter century.

With a $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers at the Case Western Reserve School of ...

Your body is home to trillions of microorganisms, many of which reside in your gut, and among these, the bacteria there play ...

These findings, reported by Tufts University School of Medicine researchers on November 15 in the journal Nature Microbiology, overturn core beliefs of bacterial cell biology and hint at why the ...
