Lords Renew Alarm Call Over Superbugs
Government action to resist the rise of “superbugs” is too slow, says the House of Lords Science & Technology Committee in a report published 29 March. The report follows up the Committee’s report of April 1998, Resistance to antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents. That report sounded the alarm about the rise of bacteria... view more...

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)
New clinical guidelines for exacerbations in cystic fibrosis
The American Thoracic Society has released new clinical guidelines for the treatment of exacerbations in cystic fibrosis based on a review of the literature on current clinical practices. view more (2009-10-23)
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)
Mortality rate is twice as high in patients with pneumonia caused by highly resistant bacteria
Patients suffering from hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by a type of bacteria that is highly resistant to virtually all antibiotics are twice as likely to die as patients infected with other, less resistant bacteria. view more (2006-08-01)
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)
Is bismuth a safe medicine for the treatment peptic ulcer disease?
Bismuth compounds have been used for centuries in medicine. The discovery of H. pylori in 1983 led to renewed interest in bismuth compounds, because these were found to successfully treat the infection in combination with antibiotics. view more (2009-01-05)
Retail meat linked to urinary tract infections: Strong new evidence
Chicken sold in supermarkets, restaurants and other outlets may place young women at risk of urinary tract infections (UTI), McGill researcher Amee Manges has discovered. view more (2010-01-21)
Small molecule triggers bacterial community
While bacterial cells tend to be rather solitary individuals, they are also known to form intricately structured communities called biofilms. view more (2008-12-23)
Scientists re-engineer a well-known antibiotic to counter drug resistance
The scientists replaced a single atom from the molecular structure of vancomycin aglycon, a glycopeptide antibiotic that attacks the bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, significantly increasing the drug's spectrum of activity. view more (2006-02-09)
A new portable biosensor detects traces of contaminants in food more quickly and cheaply
Scientists at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), in cooperation with the CSIC, have developed a new electro-chemical biosensor which detects the presence, in food, of very small amounts of atrazine -one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture and which also has very long lasting effects on the environment- as well as... view more...

Use of antibiotics for acne may increase risk of common infectious illness
Individuals treated with antibiotics for acne for more than six weeks were more than twice as likely to develop an upper respiratory tract infection within one year as individuals with acne who were not treated with antibiotics. view more (2005-09-19)
Laser Therapy Offers Hope For Acne Sufferers (pp 1342, 1347)
UK research in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that single-dose laser therapy could dramatically reduce inflammatory facial acne for up to 3 months. Effective new treatments are required for people with acne; this common skin disease can be associated with social isolation, employment difficulties, and occasionally suicide. At present... view more... (2003-10-22)
Antibiotic stress, genetic response and altered permeability of E. coli
Bacterial infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli are frequently resistant to two or more antibiotics (multi-drug resistant). view more (2007-04-11)
New, virulent strain of MRSA poses renewed antibiotic resistance concerns
The often feared and sometimes deadly infections caused by MRSA - methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - are now moving out of hospitals and emerging as an even more virulent strain in community settings and on athletic teams, and raising new concerns about antibiotic resistance. view more (2009-12-23)
Scientists decipher mechanism behind antimicrobial 'hole punchers'
In the battle against bacteria, researchers have scored a direct hit. They have made a discovery that could shorten the road to new and more potent antibiotics. view more (2007-09-21)
Researchers map spread of pathogens in the human body
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered a new, more accurate, method of mapping how bacteria spread within the body, a breakthrough that could lead to more effective treatments and prevention of certain bacterial infections. view more (2006-10-23)
Protein discovery could unlock the secret to better TB treatment
UCL scientists have found a protein that could unlock the secret to quicker, more effective treatment of TB by waking TB bacteria in the body. Once the TB bacteria are active again, the disease becomes treatable using common drugs like antibiotics. Scientists believe that uncovering the molecular structure of this protein will lead the way to... view more... (2005-02-28)
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)
Synthetic peptoids hold forth promise for new antibiotics
Drug-resistant bacterial infections are a growing concern, and much research has been devoted to finding new classes of antibiotics to fight them. view more (2008-03-10)
