Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new method for very rapidly determining whether infection-causing bacteria are resistant or susceptible to antibiotics. The findings have now been published in the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of...
ScienceDaily recently reported on new research led by Shiladitya Banerjee, an Assistant Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University, that reveals how some bacteria can adapt to long-term exposure to antibiotics by changing their shape. Adaptation is a...
As a result of the pandemic, a study shared by Becker’s Hospital Review estimates that US hospitals lost approximately $22.3B by delaying elective surgeries. Many hospitals were forced to pause these surgeries to ensure they had the resources needed to care for an...
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have given new superpowers to a lifesaving antibiotic called vancomycin, an advance that could eliminate the threat of antibiotic-resistant infections for years to come. The researchers, led by Dale Boger, co-chair...
ScienceDaily recently featured a study conducted by researchers from the John Innes Centre who used gene-editing advances to “achieve a tenfold increase in the production of super-bug targeting formicamycin antibiotics.” Their work is promising because, under...
Surgical site infections are noteworthy and costly health complications. Patients with infections are likely to stay longer an intensive care unit and a hospital. Those with infections have an increased risk of hospital readmission or death. In an attempt to address...
