Children who receive a three-day course of antibiotics following tonsillectomy rather than a seven-day course appear to have no differences in pain or how quickly they return to a normal diet and activity level. view more (2009-10-20)
New treatment for food poisoning
A team of researchers working at the University of Bristol has found a potential new treatment for listeriosis, a deadly form of food poisoning. view more (2006-05-12)
Wait-and-see approach for treating ear infections substantially reduces use of antibiotics
For children with acute ear infections seen in an emergency department, giving parents the option of delaying use of antibiotics resulted in significantly lower use of antibiotics compared to parents who received a standard prescription, with little difference in the outcomes for the children. view more (2006-09-13)
Reduced antibiotic prescribing is associated with increased hospital admissions
New research indicates that efforts to reduce antibiotic resistance led to a decrease in the prescribing of antibiotics by doctors yet an increase in hospitalizations for respiratory infections like pneumonia. view more (2006-06-22)
£2.5M for research that will underpin the search for new antibiotics
The grants, which are both for periods of 5 years, total £2.5M. New antibiotics are urgently needed to maintain control of disease-causing bacteria, which are becoming resistant to more and more conventional antibiotics. view more (1999-10-12)
McMaster researchers discover a new antibacterial lead
Antibiotic resistance has been a significant problem for hospitals and health-care facilities for more than a decade. But despite the need for new treatment options, there have been only two new classes of antibiotics developed in the last 40 years. view more (2009-09-28)
New insight into how antibiotics kill might make them deadlier
Scientists have what could be some very bad news for disease-causing bacteria. All three major classes of antibiotics that kill infectious bacteria do so in part by ramping up the production of harmful free radicals. view more (2007-09-07)
Sugar-coated antibiotics
Researchers from the John Innes Centre and the University of East Anglia have recently elucidated the structure and function of an enzyme which is involved in decorating antibiotics with sugar molecules. view more (2008-05-29)
Resistance to antibiotics: When 1+1 is not 2
The evolution of multiple antibiotic resistances is a global and difficult problem to eradicate. view more (2009-07-24)
MEDIA INVITATION. A world first : European research discovers solutions to environmental impact of antibiotics
The results of three European research projects (ERAVMIS, REMPHARMAWATER and POSEIDON) covering 13 European countries and establishing the environmental impact of human and veterinary antibiotics and possible solutions, will be presented to the press for the first time on 27 June in Gryaab, Göteborg (Sweden), at Scandinavia's largest... view more...

Prescribing of antibiotics to children still at a level to cause drug resistance, warn experts
Regular prescribing of antibiotics to children in the community is sufficient to sustain a high level of antibiotic resistance in the population, warn experts in a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-07-27)
A New Category of Antibiotics May Present a Fresh Threat to Public Health
Bacteria have developed resistance to all antibiotics in use today, and this is causing a major health problem. However, a remarkable range of new antibiotics, called cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), is attracting increasing interest as a key weapon in the fight against bacterial infection. They are based on toxic proteins that are part of... view more... (2003-06-13)
Risk of Blood Poisoning Rises as Medical Treatment Improves
Living longer and better medical treatments such as organ transplants and cancer therapy are all paradoxically increasing our risk of blood poisoning, according to experts in bacterial infections speaking at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh today, Monday 7 April 2003. "The two commonest causes of blood... view more... (2003-04-02)
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)
Fewer heart patients need antibiotics before dental procedures
Based on a review of new and existing scientific evidence, most dental patients with heart disease do not need antibiotics before dental procedures to prevent infective endocarditis (IE), a rare, but life-threatening heart infection. view more (2007-04-20)
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)
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)
Could plain soap and probiotics beat hospital bugs?
Doctors might be better off washing their hands with yoghurt instead of relying on antiseptic soap-scrubbing, according to a new discussion paper by a UCL (University College London) researcher. view more (2005-11-01)
FEMS-Lwoff Award won by Professor Sir David Hopwood, FRS
Professor Sir David Hopwood of the Department of Molecular Microbiology at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK, has been named as the recipient of the FEMS-Lwoff Award for outstanding scientific work in the field of Microbiology. Professor Hopwood's research has concentrated on the genetics and biochemistry of the actinomycete bacteria of the... view more... (2003-05-21)
Averting postsurgical infections in kids: Give antibiotics within hour before first incision
Giving children preventive antibiotics within one hour before they undergo spinal surgery greatly reduces the risk for serious infections after the surgery. view more (2008-07-21)
