In part, this is due to limited knowledge of environmental concentrations that might exert selection for resistant bacteria. To experimentally determine minimal selective concentrations in complex microbial ecosystems for all antibiotics would involve considerable effort. In this work, our aim was to ...
New lasso-shaped antibiotic kills drug-resistant bacteria Antimicrobial molecule discovered in soil from lab technician’s garden — plus, a huge study assessing the nuances of humans’ impacts on biodiversity. Benjamin Thompson Shamini Bundell
In contrast to oncology (cancer treatment), for instance, comparatively little is invested in the discovery of new antibiotics. This is mainly because it necessitates numerous years of testing (about 10 to 20 years); although it may be easy to obtain chemicals that destroy bacteria, it is a...
Fortunately, a class of 2-aminoimidazole (2-AI) compounds can bind bacterial response regulators, inhibiting biofilm formation and resensitize multidrug resistant bacteria to antibiotics. This work highlights the interactions between 2-AIs and the biofilm response regulators BfmR from Acinetobacter ...

The occurrence of ARGs and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARBs) in groundwater is also not likely to pose human health risk but consumption of groundwater contaminated with ARGs and ARBs might contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance in humans. The present review also sheds light on...
Even after farmers stop using antibiotics in their livestock, mothers pass their drug-resistant flora down to their offspring for generations. (Image credit: © Martine De Graaf | Dreamstime.com) After giving pigs a low-dose of antibiotics for just two weeks, researchers detected a drastic ...
Experts agree that by spiking animal feed withantibiotics, conventional farmers are speeding the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria.— Geoffrey Cowley Note:While antibiotics are effective mainly against bacteria, they are sometimes used to treat protozoal infections. Some consider antibiotics to include ...
Even from the natural water some antibiotic-resistant bacteria also detected. The continuous increment in antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacterial strains leads to the severity of the health problem (García-Fernández et al., 2018). Antibiotic fosfomycin known for the treatment of multi-drug resistant...
