Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis, while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse ...
A team led by Paul Hergenrother at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has discovered a new antibiotic that exclusively targets gram-negative bacteria and avoids wiping out the ecosystem of ...
Vancomycin is a common antibiotic used to treat gram-positive bacterial infections. It targets a key building block of the bacterial cell wall called Lipid II, but it can’t reach this lipid in ...

Researchers have determined a protein’s essential role in bacterial envelope structure and function, which could inspire a search for better antibiotics. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (MD, ...
Growing antimicrobial resistance is prompting renewed interest in phage therapy, with preliminary data indicating improved outcomes when combined with standard antibiotics.
Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostics (LHNVD), an IND enabling-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced new preclinical data for LHNVD-501, a half-life extended humanized monoclonal antibody ...
Scientists from Cornell University, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and elsewhere have found that a surplus of membrane proteins may help bacteria survive antibiotic exposure. These ...
Having demonstrated in previous work that drug-Fc conjugates (DFCs) are a promising treatment alternative for multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteria, researchers from the Center for ...
A 3D bimetallic MOF electrode on copper mesh kills over 99% of airborne bacteria at low voltage using electroporation and ...
