Newer antibiotic more effective at treating elders' pneumonia
A newer antibiotic medication proved more effective at knocking out community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in patients 65 and older than the antibiotic that has been the front-line CAP treatment the last decade. view more (2006-01-24)
Antibiotic treats lymphoma of the eye
The common antibiotic doxycycline effectively treats a type of lymphoma associated with chlamydia infection. view more (2006-10-04)
Plants uptake antibiotics
Scientists at the University of Minnesota have been evaluating the impact of antibiotic feeding in livestock production on the environment. view more (2007-07-12)
Hospital superbugs now in nursing homes and the community
Hospital superbugs that can break down antibiotics are so widespread throughout Europe that doctors increasingly have to use the few remaining drugs that they reserve for emergencies. view more (2007-11-28)
Blood tests and better communication skills could cut over-prescribing of antibiotics
Improving communications skills and the use of a simple blood test could help cut the growing number of inappropriate prescriptions of antibiotics, a joint Cardiff University trial has discovered. view more (2009-05-21)
Antibiotic ear drops favored over popular oral antibiotics for ear infections
A multicenter study on treating common ear infections in children with ear tubes adds to a growing body of evidence that favors antibiotic ear drops over antibiotics swallowed in pill or liquid form in such cases, a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher reports. view more (2006-12-13)
New study finds antibiotic vancomycin may trigger dangerously low platelet count
The antibiotic vancomycin often used in intensive care units is considered the drug of choice for the treatment of staphylococci (staph) infections that are resistant to most other antibiotics. view more (2007-03-01)
Blocking the spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria
It's as simple as A, T, G, C. Northwestern University scientists have exploited the Watson-Crick base pairing of DNA to provide a defensive tool that could be used to fight the spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria -- one of the world's most pressing public health problems. view more (2008-12-19)
Stealth technology maintains fitness after sex
Pathogens can become superbugs without their even knowing it, research published today in Science shows. 'Stealth' plasmids-circular 'DNA parasites' of bacteria that can carry antibiotic-resistance genes-produce a protein that increases the chances of survival and spread of the antibiotic-resistant strain. view more (2007-01-12)
Evolution follows few of the possible paths to antibiotic resistance
Darwinian evolution follows very few of the available mutational pathways to attain fitter proteins, researchers at Harvard University have found in a study of a gene whose mutant form increases bacterial resistance to a widely prescribed antibiotic by a factor of roughly 100,000. view more (2006-04-12)
New peptide antibiotic isolated from American oyster
North Carolina Sea Grant researchers have isolated a new peptide antibiotic from the American oyster that may have implications for managing many diseases in oysters. view more (2005-11-30)
Researchers use dirt to stay one step ahead of antibiotic resistance
Dirt may be a key to how bacteria that infect humans develop a resistance to antibiotic drugs. view more (2006-01-20)
UIC scientists discover how some bacteria survive antibiotics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered how some bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment by turning on resistance mechanisms when exposed to the drugs. The findings, published in the April 24 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, could lead to more effective antibiotics to treat a variety of infections. view more (2008-05-01)
Antibiotic resistant bacteria frequently transmitted between intensive care patients
Bacteria with resistance to multiple antibiotics will become more common in intensive care units unless hospitals improve their hygiene standards. Research published in Critical Care this week shows that there is an "unexpectedly high" level of transmission of bacteria between intensive care patients. view more (2003-12-18)
Treatment Of Mild Vaginal Infection During Pregnancy Could Reduce Miscarriage And Premature Birth (p 983)
Authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET conclude that the treatment of mild vaginal infection during pregnancy could reduce the risk of late miscarriage and premature birth. Mild bacterial infection in the vagina -which is often asymptomatic-is associated with an increased risk of late miscarriage and spontaneous preterm delivery... view more... (2003-03-20)

Cloning techniques produce FDA-approved antibiotic
The successful synthesis of an antibiotic in a non-native host has provided a team of researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with the potential for developing new treatments for bacterial infections. view more (2006-11-28)
Trial Reveals Safer And Simpler Approach To Treating Children With Cystic Fibrosis
Treating chest infections in young cystic fibrosis patients with an antibiotic once instead of three times daily is as effective and less toxic, conclude the results of a randomised trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. view more (2005-02-09)
Ipsat Therapies Announces Positive Clinical Trial Results for the Prevention of Serious Infections Associated with Antibiotic Resistance
Helsinki, October 13th 2003 - Ipsat Therapies, focused on developing products to prevent the spread of serious infections associated with antibiotic therapy and resistance, today presented positive Phase I clinical trial data for its lead product, P1A, at the BioPartnering Europe Conference in London. This product fulfils many of the criteria for... view more... (2003-10-13)
Injection savings could mean better care in ICU
Intensive care doctors could cut the daily cost of care per patient by up to EUR64, and improve patient recovery simply by prescribing a different antibiotic or method of administering it. Research published in the latest issue of Critical Care assesses the hidden costs of administering intravenous antibiotics. view more (2003-10-09)
