Antibiotic resistance in farm animals
Pigs and other farm animals are harbouring major reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to research presented today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting in Trinity College Dublin, by researchers from the University of Leeds. view more (2004-08-23)
New way to target and kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria found
Putting bacteria on birth control could stop the spread of drug-resistant microbes, and researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have found a way to do just that. view more (2007-07-10)
Minnesota and Michigan reseachers discover new insights for antibiotic drug development
University of Minnesota and University of Michigan researchers have discovered a new method of developing antibiotics, an important step in fighting the growing number of drug-resistant infections. view more (2006-09-12)
Adverse reactions to antibiotics send thousands of patients to the ER
Adverse events from antibiotics cause an estimated 142,000 emergency department visits per year in the United States, according to a study published in the September 15, 2008 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases. view more (2008-08-13)
Bee sting antibiotics could beat superbugs
Bee stings may provide a solution to overcome the growing problem of antibiotic resistance in bacteria according to new research presented today (Monday, 06 September 2004) by Belfast scientists at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. view more (2004-08-23)
Pair of studies offer new clues to combat antibiotic resistance
In the continuing battle against antibiotic resistance, two new studies shed light on the complex defense mechanisms pathogenic bacteria use to evade antibiotic attack, an understanding of which could lead to new, more effective antibiotics to help save lives and combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. view more (2006-01-25)
Bacteria create aquatic superbugs in waste treatment plants
For bacteria in wastewater treatment plants, the stars align perfectly to create a hedonistic mating ground for antibiotic-resistant superbugs eventually discharged into streams and lakes. view more (2009-05-13)
Researchers seek children for a study of antibiotics for a urinary tract disorder
Researchers conducting a study to learn if children with a urinary tract disorder known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) should be treated with an antibiotic for an extended period of time are seeking to enroll more participants. view more (2008-06-23)
Single dose of antibiotics before surgery sufficient to help prevent infection
A single dose of antibiotics prior to surgery appears to prevent infections occurring at the surgical site as effectively as a 24-hour dosing regimen, and with reduced antibiotic costs. view more (2006-11-21)
Steroids aid recovery from pneumonia, UT Southwestern researchers say
Adding corticosteroids to traditional antimicrobial therapy might help people with pneumonia recover more quickly than with antibiotics alone, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists have found. view more (2008-10-15)
Flies May Spread Drug-Resistant Bacteria from Poultry Operations
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found evidence that houseflies collected near broiler poultry operations may contribute to the dispersion of drug-resistant bacteria and thus increase the potential for human exposure to drug-resistant bacteria. view more (2009-03-17)
'Superbug' breast infections controllable in nursing mothers, researchers find
Many nursing mothers who have been hospitalized for breast abscesses are afflicted with the "superbug" methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, but according to new research by UT Southwestern Medical Center physicians, conservative treatment can deal with the problem. view more (2008-09-04)
Less antibiotic use in food animals leads to less drug resistance in people, study shows
Australia's policy of restricting antibiotic use in food-producing animals may be linked with lower levels of drug-resistant bacteria found in its citizens. view more (2006-04-18)
Infectious heart disease death rates rising again say scientists
Infectious heart disease is still a major killer in spite of improvements in health care, but the way the disease develops has changed so much since its discovery that nineteenth century doctors would not recognize it. view more (2008-09-11)
Fears about complications shouldn't drive antibiotic prescribing
Antibiotics are not justified to reduce the risk of complications after upper respiratory tract infection, sore throat, or ear infection, finds a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-10-19)
SULPHONAMIDE RESISTANCE REMAINS HIGH DESPITE PRESCRIBING RESTRICTION (pp 1307, 1325)
A substantial decrease in prescribing of sulphonamides in the UK over the past decade has failed to reduce resistance to this class of antibiotic drugs, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There is a clear link between heavy antimicrobial use and the emergence of resistant bacteria. Whether a reduction in antimicrobial... view more... (2001-04-25)
Nanotechnology boosts war on superbugs
This week Nature Nanotechnology journal (October 12th) reveals how scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) at UCL are using a novel nanomechanical approach to investigate the workings of vancomycin, one of the few antibiotics that can be used to combat increasingly resistant infections such as MRSA. view more (2008-10-13)
Studies identify food sources of disease and drug resistance
As the recent U.S. outbreak of E. coli infections caused by contaminated spinach demonstrates, the safety of the food we eat cannot be taken for granted. view more (2006-10-04)
Computers help chemists fight emerging infections
Computer analysis of existing drugs may be key to fighting new infectious agents and antibiotic-resistant pathogens like deadly tuberculosis strains and staph 'superbugs.' view more (2007-08-20)
Jefferson Scientists Design Method to Fight Artificial Implant Infections with Antibiotics
Infections associated with inserting a medical device can be devastating, painful, and cause prolonged disability, costing tens of thousands of dollars. view more (2005-09-26)
