Engineered frog-derived peptides may become powerful new antibiotics, showing strong results against resistant bacteria in early testing. Frogs have thrived for hundreds of millions of years, adapting ...

A small molecule shaped like a lasso may be a powerful tool in the fight against infectious diseases, according to a new study in Nature co-authored by University of Illinois Chicago researchers.

Lariocidin, a peptide made by bacteria living in soil, was effective against several different microbes responsible for deadly infections. UIC researchers working with collaborators at McMaster ...

Frogs have flourished for hundreds of millions of years, occupying nearly every habitat on Earth, from tropical rainforests to subarctic woodlands.

Now, a team led by researchers at McMaster University in Ontario believe they’ve found a molecule that could lead to a whole ...

In seeking new antibiotic sources, researchers have turned to an unlikely source: a whiffy frog known as Odorrana andersonii.
