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

The molecule has a unique structure of a "knotted lasso or a pretzel ... specific site in the ribosome to which none of the known antibiotics bind, and stops the ribosome from making proteins." ...

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

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

When exposed to antibiotics, approximately one out of every 10 8 -10 9 bacteria develops resistance due to spontaneous ...

Can plant extracts help treat infections and prevent diseases? Researchers reveal how bioactive compounds from fruits and ...

Researchers discovered lariocidin, a lasso peptide antibiotic that kills multidrug-resistant bacteria by binding a novel ...

Engineered frog-derived peptides may become powerful new antibiotics, showing strong results against resistant bacteria in ...

They found a new molecule named lariocidin —a potential new antibiotic with the power to kill some of the world’s most ...

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 ...
