Millions of people die every year from antibiotic-resistant infections or from the complications of those infections, and the problem is only expected to get worse as pathogenic bacteria continue to ...

A new experimental antibiotic can handily knock off one of the world’s most notoriously drug-resistant and deadly bacteria —in lab dishes and mice, at least. It does so with a never-before-seen method ...

The first large-scale genetic study of E. coli's protective armor has identified the five capsule types that are responsible ...

The amphipathic lipopolysaccharides in the outer leaflet of the asymmetric outer membrane bilayer of Gram-negative bacteria block antibiotic entry, making the treatment of bacterial infections ...

The rise of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens has spurred scientists to search far and wide for new drugs. And while many antimicrobial molecules have been discovered in recent years, it’s rare to ...

Antibiotics kill disease-causing bacteria as well as the beneficial ones living in our gut, disturbing the health-maintaining microbiome. A new antibiotic specifically targets hard-to-kill bacteria ...

Health professionals are in urgent need of new antibiotics to tackle resistant bacteria. Researchers have now modified the chemical structure of naturally occurring peptides to develop antimicrobial ...

The first large-scale genetic study of E. coli's protective armor has identified the five capsule types that are responsible ...

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 ...
