Scientists have labored for decades to find antibiotics that work against Gram-negative bacteria, which cause some of the deadliest infections in hospital settings and are most likely to be resistant ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, but increasingly hard to treat because the bacteria that cause them are developing resistance to many antibiotics. Researchers headed by a team at the ...

India's common infections are becoming untreatable as widely used antibiotics lose efficacy, according to a new ICMR report.

Scientists at Duke University report they have developed a synthetic antibiotic that could be effective against drug-resistant superbugs and bacteria such as Salmonella, Pseudomonas, and E. coli.

Bacterial species, and even specific strains can be differentiated using a number of molecular techniques such as PCR, quantitative PCR, genome sequencing and mass spectrometry. But even without ...

For the first time, researchers have found higher levels of Gram-negative bacteria antigens in brain samples from late-onset Alzheimer’s disease patients. Compared to controls, patients with Alzheimer ...

LpxC inhibitors target a zinc-dependent deacetylase that catalyses the first committed step in lipid A biosynthesis, an essential process for the viability of Gram-negative bacteria. As lipid A forms ...

A new drug conjugate tricks Gram-negative bacteria into succumbing to an antibiotic that usually works only against Gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative bacterial infections are tough to treat ...

Gram-negative meningitis is a form of meningitis. The term gram-negative refers to a way of differentiating bacteria. This type of bacteria is typically resistant to drugs and most available ...

Gram-negative bacteria pose a significant threat to global health due to their high resistance to antibiotics compared to that of Gram-positive bacteria. Their formidable defensive capabilities stem ...
