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. Intensive care patients are... view more...

Stick with simple antibiotics for pneumonia to avoid super bugs, says researcher
Australian hospitals should avoid prescribing expensive broad-spectrum antibiotics for pneumonia to avoid the development of more drug-resistant super bugs, according to a University of Melbourne study. view more (2008-08-27)
Silencing bacteria could stop infections and save lives, say scientists
Stopping bacteria from talking to each other could help prevent serious infections say scientists from Aberdeen, in new research presented today (Monday, 06 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. view more (2004-08-23)
DOTS Show the Way to Tackle the Toughest TB.
New research has shown for the first time that the spread of multi drug-resistant TB can be halted through a well executed standard treatment programme. Bacterial fingerprinting techniques used to track disease transmission in a southern Mexico community revealed that all categories of tuberculosis were controlled when the DOTS strategy was used. view more (2005-04-01)
Functional foods offer hope for fighting infections
Upset stomachs and gut diseases are a common problem amongst our increasingly elderly population, but now help may be on hand using friendly bacteria isolated from the intestines of healthy elderly individuals, according to scientists speaking today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity... view more...

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)
Bacteria in disguise cause problems for cystic fibrosis sufferers
Bacteria that cause infections in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients avoid detection by changing their appearance according to Cardiff University researchers speaking today, Thursday 13 September 2001, at the bi-annual meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. "Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which... view more... (2001-08-31)
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...

Supersized 'island' of resistance genes discovered in an infectious bacterium
Researchers have discovered a cluster of 45 genes coding for antibacterial drug resistance in the bacterium, Acinetobacter baumannii, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. view more (2006-01-13)
New silver nanoparticle skin gel for healing burns
Scientists in India are reporting successful laboratory tests of a new and potentially safer alternative to silver-based gels applied to the skin of burn patients to treat infections. With names like silver sulfadiazine and silver nitrate, these germ-fighters save lives and speed healing. view more (2009-07-23)
Cancer cells lose drug resistance following electrical stimulation in vitro
Drug-resistant tumour cells lose their drug resistance when exposed to low intensity, low frequency electric pulses for three days. view more (2006-03-17)
Doctors call for change in how non-active TB in immigrant children treated
New guidelines proposed in the March 2009 issue of the journal Pediatrics by researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine and Riley Hospital for Children may have a major impact on how U.S. pediatricians and family physicians treat non-active tuberculosis (TB) in children who are immigrants, internationally adopted or refugees. view more (2009-03-03)
Researchers find 'surprising link' leads toward a new antibiotic
As the best drugs become increasingly resistant to superbugs, McMaster University researchers have discovered a completely different way of looking for a new antibiotic. view more (2009-05-29)
Despite vaccine, public should not get complacent about pneumococcal disease
Although the childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has been a boon in reducing the incidence invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), the public and the medical community must not get complacent, as non-vaccine strains, some resistant to antibiotics, are on the rise, say scientists at a meeting today in Boston. view more (2008-06-03)
High degree of resistance to antibiotics in Arctic birds
In the latest issue of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, Swedish researchers report that birds captured in the hyperboreal tundra, in connection with the tundra expedition "Beringia 2005," were carriers of antibiotics-resistant bacteria. view more (2008-01-14)
Pitt-led researchers create quick, simple fluorescent detector for TB
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have developed an onsite method to quickly diagnose tuberculosis (TB) and expose the deadly drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can mingle undetected with treatable strains. view more (2009-03-20)
New study reveals structure of E. coli multidrug transporter protein
This new study could potentially help researchers find new ways to avoid the problem of multidrug resistance and enhance the potency of existing drug compounds. view more (2006-05-05)
Wheat bran can double the benefits of a high fibre diet in cancer prevention
The research team studied the intestinal and fecal contents of 24 pigs, because their digestive systems most closely resemble ours. The pigs were fed typical Western style diets, high in refined fats and sugars, and then either had their food supplemented with resistant starchsuch as that found in grains, corn, and potatoor wheat bran, or both. view more (1999-11-15)
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)
Pets could be source of multiresistant bacteria infections in humans, MU researchers investigate
The next time you have difficulty fighting a bacterial infection, your next trip to the doctor might be to the family veterinarian. view more (2007-08-01)
