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

The molecule was found in soil samples collected from a laboratory technician’s garden. The discovery shows that “there is ...

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

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

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 ...

Increased antibiotic use can lead, seemingly paradoxically, to more problematic infections, as the bacteria evolve to resist ...

Antibiotics for pneumonia include Zithromax (azithromycin), Biaxin (clarithromycin), and Erythrocin (erythromycin). Azithromycin is often the first-line treatment since it is effective against many ...

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

The last time a new class of antibiotics reached the market was nearly three decades ago—but that could soon change, thanks ...

The drug Blujepa, from drugmaker GSK, provides a new treatment option as bacteria increasingly become resistant to the ...
