A Norwegian study involving nearly 2,000 patients revealed that those who reported sleeping less than six hours or more than nine hours had a higher…
Healthy dogs and cats may be transmitting multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) to their hospitalized owners, while humans could also be passing these microbes to their pets,…
The presence of antibiotic residue in wastewater and treatment facilities may act as breeding grounds for antibiotic resistance and pose a risk to human health…
MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics commonly used to treat staph infections. This makes MRSA infections…
According to a groundbreaking international study led by a UVA Health scientist and his team, a single dose of the antibiotic azithromycin can greatly reduce…
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic disorders that cause inflammation in the digestive tract, including the small intestine and colon. IBD can…
MIT researchers have identified components of mucus that can block cholera infections by interfering with the genes that cause the microbe to switch into a…
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a type of bacteria that can cause serious infections in the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and other parts of the body. It…
Treating acne with systemic antibiotics, such as minocycline, can alter the composition of the gut microbiome resulting in unintended consequences on the maturing skeleton during…

A new mechanism has been discovered that enables bacteria to take up nutrients from their human host and bypass antibiotic treatment. This new form of…
UTIs are common infections that develop when bacteria enter the urethra and infect the urinary tract. Researchers uncover a treatment combination that is particularly effective…
iBioFAB accelerates the biological engineering process by integrating artificial intelligence/machine learning with automation. Credit: Julia Pollack Researchers were able to discover and characterize new ribosomally…
The research is an important step in the development of new effective drugs. A new antibiotic that can fight against resistant bacteria. Antibiotics were long thought…
In lab tests, the new compound destroys 10 strains of antibiotic-resistant MRSA. A compound that both inhibits the MRSA superbug and renders it more vulnerable…
The new study provides strong evidence that antibiotics cause unwanted immune responses. A new study has found that early exposure to antibiotics can cause permanent…
It has become increasingly difficult to treat infections as the bacteria that cause them are becoming resistant to antibiotics. The drug candidate, called fabimycin, was…
The study found that outpatients missed fewer workdays (2.6 vs 3.8) and had a comparable frequency of return health care visits as inpatients. The researchers…
A highly antibiotic-resistant form of the superbug MRSA was discovered in a recent investigation. A strain of MRSA that emerged in pigs and is highly…
