“These strange little animals have copied the DNA that tells microbes how to make antibiotics,” explains Wilson. “We watched them using one of these genes against a disease caused by a fungus, and the animals that survived the infection were producing 10 times more of the chemical recipe t...
Lynn Cole had a blood infection she couldn’t shake. For years, she was in and out of the hospital. Each time antibiotics would force the infection to retreat. Each time it came roaring back. In the summer of 2020, the bacteria flooding Cole’s bloodstream stopped responding to antibiotics...
Due to the dearth of novel antibiotics in recent years, and the on-going crisis of antimicrobial resistance, bacteriocins may yet prove to be invaluable in clinical settings against biofilm producers. It is noteworthy that thus far, only the derivative of the lantibiotic deoxyactagardine B, NVB3...

This tonic is not just good for flu-fighting. It is great for any infection—even infections that are resistant to prescription antibiotics. It is a pain reliever for inflammation, muscles and joint pains, stop sinusitis, improves blood flow (great for individuals suffering fromRaynaud syndrome)...
because their immune cells didn't produce high levels of Type-1 interferon and IL-10 after Listeria infection. "The groundbreaking finding of our study is that we might be now able to treat a life-threatening bacterial infection without antibiotics, simply by strengthening the immune response", ...
That could awaken all the dormantC. diffspores in a patient's gut at once, and make them vulnerable to antibiotics that can only kill the germinated form. That could also prevent the transmission of more spores through diarrhea to the patient's room. That could slow or stop the cycle of...

The research is as sobering as it is clear: People with infections which are resistant to antibiotics are considerably more likely to die from their infections. And even if they don’t, they’re looking at significantly longer hospital stays and increased risk of re-infection and secondary infec...
As the broad-spectrum antibacterial strategy, the abuse of antibiotics leads to the emergence of a large number of super resistant bacteria [3,4]. Especially, when the infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria occurs at the wound site, the wound healing becomes more difficult [5]. Hence, ...
