In this Review, I discuss the recent structural insights into the mechanism of action of ribosome-targeting antibiotics and the molecular mechanisms of bacterial resistance, in addition to the ...

Penicillin belongs to the beta-lactam family of antibiotics, the members of which use a similar mechanism of action to inhibit bacterial cell growth that eventually kills the bacteria.

Closely related bacterial species use different strategies to build their cell walls, an international team of scientists led ...

Antibiotics survival mechanism: Researchers have discovered an unexpected mechanism that allows bacteria to defend themselves against antibiotics, a surprise finding that could lead to retooled ...

How does penicillin work (mechanism of action)? Penicillin kills certain types of bacteria by blocking their ability to create their cell wall. How is penicillin supplied (dosage forms)?

Novel antibiotics with new mechanisms of action against Gram-negative bacteria are urgently needed, especially because resistance against the last resort antibiotic colistin is on a global rise.

Novel antibiotics with new mechanisms of action against Gram-negative bacteria are urgently needed, especially because resistance against the last resort antibiotic colistin is on a global rise.

Novel technique developed helps identify the mechanisms of bacteriostatic and bactericidal antibiotics. It is the bond duration and not bond tightness that kill bacteria.

In addition to the urgent need for new antibiotics, alternative strategies are required to tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance. Michaela Wenzel, Associate Professor at Chalmers University of ...

Discussing how their findings articulate the comprehensive mechanism for the membrane-disruptive action of this mammalian host-defense peptide at atomistic level, Zeth notes that their findings ...

Francis Crick Institute scientists say their findings in mice suggest that inappropriate use of antibiotics could render individuals suscpetible to more severe flu infections.
