An alternative therapy against brucellosis
Concepción Lecároz, a researcher from the University of Navarra, has developed a new therapy against brucellosis. view more (2006-01-18)
Emphasis on performance measures may lead to inappropriate antibiotic use
Patients with suspected pneumonia may receive antibiotics unnecessarily as a result of hospital and physician efforts to meet certain performance measures. view more (2006-07-11)
Study shows most ear infections host both bacteria and viruses
Ear infections are among the most common diseases seen in pediatric practice. They have generally been considered bacterial diseases and are therefore usually treated with antibiotics. view more (2006-11-07)
Is Clostridium difficile-associated disease linked to use of common stomach medication?
Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD), often associated with antibiotic use, is recognized as a major avoidable cause of illness and death in hospital patients. view more (2006-09-26)
Antibiotics may not be enough to stop recurrent gastric lymphoma caused by Helicobacter pylori
Research led by Dr. Anne Mueller at Stanford University School of Medicine demonstrates that successful eradication of Helicobacter may not prevent future aggressive gastric lymphoma since resting B cells are left behind. view more (2005-08-25)
High level of antibiotic resistance in bacteria that cause food poisoning
More than 40% of bacteria found in chicken on sale in Switzerland is resistant to at least one antibiotic, says research published this week in BMC Public Health. The findings could have implications for treating food poisoning. The bacteria, Campylobacter, causes between 5 and 14 percent of all diarrhoeal illness worldwide. The most common... view more...

Study: Antibiotic gives hope to patients with IBS
A new study found that patients reported greater global improvements in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms and less bloating after taking rifaximin than patients taking placebo. view more (2006-10-17)
Antibiotics alter the normal bacterial flora in humans
Microbes researchers highlight drawbacks of antibiotics Antibiotics alter the normal bacterial flora in humans Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics can live in the human intestines for at least one year. Professor Charlotta Edlund from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, and Research Professor Pentti Huovinen from the National... view more... (2004-03-17)
Innocuous intestinal bacteria may be reservoir for resistance
"Harmless" bacteria in the digestive tracts of dairy cows, may not be so harmless after all. They may be a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes that can be transferred to more harmful, disease-causing bacteria. view more (2006-05-25)
Theory shows mechanism behind delayed development of antibiotic resistance
Inhibiting the "drug efflux pumps" in bacteria, which function as their defence mechanisms against antibiotics, can mask the effect of mutations that have led to resistance in the form of low-affinity drug binding to target molecules in the cell. view more (2009-05-06)
A possible role for honey in the treatment of wounds
New research carried out by scientists at partner institutions UWIC (University of Wales Institute, Cardiff), University of Wales College of Medicine (UWCM) in Cardiff and the University of Waikato, New Zealand, has found sensitivity to honey of wound infecting bacteria. In a report published in the November 2002 issue of Journal of Applied... view more... (2002-11-21)
Antibiotic proves successful in tackling symptoms of acute asthma
Researchers have demonstrated that an antibiotic is effective at treating acute asthma attacks, potentially providing a new way to help asthma sufferers. view more (2006-04-13)
Agricultural antibiotic use contributes to 'super-bugs' in humans
Doctors have become increasingly concerned by the problem of "super-bugs"-bacteria that have become resistant to standard antibiotics. It is well known that a high rate of antibiotic prescribing in hospitals contributes to the emergence of drug resistant bacteria. view more (2005-07-05)
New antibiotic prescribing policies needed to curb resistance BMJ Volume 324, pp 28-30
Effect of B lactam antibiotic use in children on pneumococcal resistance to penicillin: prospective cohort study The likelihood of children carrying a resistant bug is related to the amount of antibiotics they take, finds a study in this week's BMJ. If these drugs are to retain their clinical usefulness, new prescribing policies are needed, argue... view more... (2002-01-02)
Antibiotics Can Cause Pervasive, Persistent Changes to the Microbial Community in the Human Gut, MBL and Stanford Scientists Report
Using a novel technique developed by Mitchell Sogin of the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) to identify different types of bacteria, scientists have completed the most precise survey to date of how microbial communities in the human gut respond to antibiotic treatment. view more (2008-11-19)
Bacterial 'battle for survival' leads to new antibiotic
MIT biologists have provoked soil-dwelling bacteria into producing a new type of antibiotic by pitting them against another strain of bacteria in a battle for survival. view more (2008-02-27)
Antibiotic prescribing should be standardized across Europe to help tackle resistance
Antibiotic prescribing for respiratory illnesses should be standardised across Europe to help reduce inappropriate prescribing and resistance. view more (2009-06-24)
Antibiotic treatment targets difficult asthma
Hunter researchers have shown that a commonly available antibiotic can improve the quality of life of patients with difficult asthma, and may also generate significant health care savings. view more (2007-12-18)
Customized treatments for sepsis lower treatment time and reduce length of ICU stays
Using a blood test and a decision algorithm, rather than standard hospital protocols, to determine the appropriate length of antibiotic therapy in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock can reduce duration of treatments, shorten ICU stays, and lower hospital costs- all without adverse effects on patients, according to new research. view more (2008-02-29)
New approach could lower antibiotic requirements by 50 times
Antibiotic doses could be reduced by up to 50 times using a new approach based on bacteriophages. view more (2007-01-29)
