Scientists from the University of Leeds say they have identified a key process in the way bacteria protect themselves from attack and that their finding heralds a potential new strategy in the hunt ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Scientists have labored for decades to find antibiotics that work against Gram-negative bacteria, which cause some of the deadliest infections in hospital settings and are most ...

Bacteria stay safe within their walls only it these walls are properly built and maintained. And so bacteria are vulnerable to antibiotics that can interfere with the bacterial cell wall’s brick and ...

If you have had strep throat or an ear infection, there's a good chance you received amoxicillin or penicillin to effectively ...

Inside every human cell, a molecular machine quietly shreds damaged proteins to keep life running smoothly. Researchers have now shown that this same machine also forges tiny antibiotic fragments that ...

We still do not understand exactly how antibiotics kill bacteria. However, this understanding is necessary if we want to develop new antibiotics. And that is precisely what is urgently needed, because ...

An international research team has demonstrated that Janus nanoparticles can disrupt the defenses of drug-resistant ...

The bacterial cell wall must be constantly remodeled in order to grow and divide. This involves the close coordination of lytic enzymes and peptidoglycan synthesis. Researchers led by Martin ...
