Antibiotics are frequently used drugs that can eliminate and prevent bacterial infections. They might be used in the acute phase of an infection, or to reduce the likelihood of complications after ...

Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. The ...

A recent Nature journal study uses a deep learning approach to explore chemical sub-structures that helped discover structural classes of antibiotics. Study: Discovery of a structural class of ...

Antibiotic resistance continues to push modern medicine into dangerous territory. In hospitals around the world, infections once treated easily now survive some of the strongest drugs available.

About a decade ago, researchers in UC Santa Barbara chemistry professor Guillermo Bazan’s lab began to observe a recurring challenge in their research: Some of the compounds they were developing to ...

Using a type of artificial intelligence known as deep learning, MIT researchers have discovered a class of compounds that can kill a drug-resistant bacterium that causes more than 10,000 deaths in the ...

Bacteria can easily evolve, and can quickly gain resistance to drugs. Drug-resistant bacterial infections already cause the deaths of millions of people every year, and that number is expected to rise ...

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most urgent problems facing humanity, but it’s been decades since we last developed a new class of these drugs. That could all be about to change thanks to the ...

The last time a new class of antibiotics reached the market was nearly three decades ago — but that could soon change, thanks to a discovery by researchers at McMaster University. A team led by ...

Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. The ...
