Long-term apple scab resistance remains elusive, Purdue expert says
There are hundreds of choices when picking a crabapple tree from the nursery, but a Purdue University expert says only a handful are resistant to a widespread fungus or other serious diseases. view more (2009-06-26)
Consumers choose locally grown and environmentally friendly apples
When asked to compare apples to apples, consumers said they would pay more for locally grown apples than genetically modified (GMO) apples. view more (2009-11-24)
Widespread uncontrolled use of antibiotics to prevent anthrax will lead to resistance
Giving antibiotics to large numbers of potentially exposed individuals to prevent anthrax will lead to resistance, according to researchers from Liverpool in this week's BMJ. As such, it is essential that they are used carefully and according to national guidelines. Although generally safe, the antimicrobial drug ciprofloxacin, which has been... view more... (2001-10-31)
HIV drug resistance is increasing in the UK
The prevalence of transmitted HIV drug resistance in the United Kingdom is increasing, according to a study in this week's BMJ. This finding emphasises the urgent need for new approaches to encourage safer sexual behaviour. A total of 69 patients infected with HIV between June 1994 and August 2000 were evaluated for resistance within 18 months of... view more... (2001-05-02)
Balancing male fertility and disease resistance
An international collaboration of researchers, headed by Dr. Shiping Wang (Huazhong Agricultural University, China) has discovered that a single gene in rice regulates both male fertility and pathogen resistance, providing an unexpected genetic link between reproductive success and the disease resistance. view more (2006-05-08)
The structure of resistance
A team of scientists from the University Paris Descartes has solved the structure of two proteins that allow bacteria to gain resistance to multiple types of antibiotics, according to a report in EMBO reports this month. view more (2008-02-25)
Same gene protects from 1 disease, opens door to another
Botanists at Oregon State University have discovered that a single plant gene can cause resistance to one disease at the same time it produces susceptibility to a different disease - the first time this unusual phenomenon has ever been observed in plants. view more (2007-08-29)
Antibiotics-resistant gulls worry scientists
The resistance pattern for antibiotics in gulls is the same as in humans, and a new study by Uppsala University researchers shows that nearly half of Mediterranean gulls in southern France have some form of resistance to antibiotics. view more (2009-06-18)
Dental plaque: a breeding ground for antibiotic resistance
Gene swapping is taking place on your gums as the bacteria in dental plaque trade-up on newer antibiotic resistance genes, according to research presented today (Monday 16 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn meeting at Loughborough University. "We have found that many antibiotic resistance genes in oral bacteria are... view more... (2002-08-28)
Insect Resistance to Bt Crops can be Predicted, Monitored, and Managed
Since 1996, crop plants genetically modified to produce bacterial proteins that are toxic to certain insects, yet safe for people, have been planted on more than 200 million hectares worldwide. view more (2009-11-24)
European league-tables for antibiotic resistance revealed
Tests of antibiotic resistance in cattle have revealed stark variation across thirteen European countries. The results, published today in BioMed Central's open-access journal Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, show that major differences were apparent in the occurrence of resistance between countries and between the different antimicrobial agents... view more...

Childhood circumstances linked to health in later life
Poor social circumstances in adulthood have been known for some time to increase heart disease risk but less attention has been paid to earlier life circumstances. A study in this week's BMJ finds that adverse social circumstances in childhood, as well as adulthood, are strongly associated with increased risk of insulin resistance, and other heart... view more...

What are the characteristics of clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori?
Clarithromycin is currently one of the antibiotics used for eradication of Helicobacter pylori. However, reports of H. pylori resistance to this antibiotic are increasing worldwide. view more (2009-07-16)
How does insulin influence resistin?
Obesity is a worldwide health problem directly linked to several diseases such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Resistin is a cysteine-rich hormone mainly secreted by adipose tissues and may form a biochemical link between obesity and type 2 diabetes. view more (2008-01-17)
A new approach to study flu drug resistance
Researchers have created a new approach for studying resistance to Neuraminidase Inhibitors (NI) in influenza. view more (2007-12-07)
First observation of linkage between genes controlling resistance found in crop pests
Researchers at Clemson University, USA have found connections between resistance controlling genes in Heliothis virescens F (Tobacco budworm), a serious pest of cotton. `This linkage may contribute to the rapid evolution of resistance observed in this pest` said researcher Thomas M Brown. view more (2002-01-30)
Innocuous intestinal bacteria may be reservoir for resistance
"Harmless" bacteria in the digestive tracts of dairy cows, may not be so harmless after all. They may be a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes that can be transferred to more harmful, disease-causing bacteria. view more (2006-05-25)
Misuse of antibiotics not the only cause of resistance says report
The perception that antibiotic resistance is primarily the undesirable consequence of antibiotic abuse or misuse is a view that is simplistic and inaccurate. view more (2009-10-16)
Action to prevent diabetes should begin in childhood
Action to prevent non-insulin dependent diabetes and heart disease in South Asian people may need to begin during childhood, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in London identified 3,415 white and 227 South Asian children aged 8 to 11 years from primary schools in 10 British towns. Blood samples were taken from 1,287 white and 73 South... view more... (2002-03-13)
Controlling antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in hospitals
In one of the first national studies on guidelines that control antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in hospitals. view more (2006-10-10)
