Amid a surge in drug-resistant bacteria, researchers believe they have discovered a new class of antibiotics for the first ...

A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

Researchers created safe synthetic antibiotics from frog molecules. These may help fight superbugs in the future.

To be awarded an official English Heritage plaque, the proposed recipient (nominated by members of the public) must have died ...

Engineers have derived potent new antibiotics from a frog's secretions. The new molecules demonstrated capabilities on par with existing last-resort antibiotics, without harming human cells or ...

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 ...

In a new paper, researchers describe the creation of synthetic peptides, a class of antibiotics, derived from the secretions ...

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 ...

A new molecule, lariocidin, offers hope in the fight against antimicrobial resistance, killing drug-resistant bacteria with a ...

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

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.
