University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein that can both sense and counteract viral infections. In the study, published ...

Australian researchers have developed a powerful new way to target deadly, drug-resistant bacteria by designing antibodies ...

A new study from the CDC found that infection rates for a drug-resistant “nightmare bacteria” are on the rise, increasing nearly 70% between 2019 and 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the NDM ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

A synthetic microbiome therapy, tested in mice, holds promise as a new treatment for C. difficile, a notoriously difficult-to-treat bacterial infection, according to a team of researchers. The ...

After lung transplantation, infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa independently predicted antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), researchers found. Through a series of mouse-model studies, the researchers ...

The Center for Vaccine Development (CVD) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UM SOM) will participate in a partnership with industry to develop a vaccine to prevent a group of deadly ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in the accuracy and speed at which often deadly pathogen infections can be identified and treated. This is time that, in many cases, is critical to saving a ...

A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...

Four major trends that will shape how we as a society will confront antibiotic resistance in the coming decade.
