The article reports on medical procedure called "fecal transplant" or colonoscopic insertion of a capsule of healthy frozen fecal extracts into the colon of a person with diarrhea due to Clostridium difficile bacteria and is antibiotic-resistant, and recent study of this capsule being taken orally....
Antibiotic resistance has become a significant challenge around the world, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have also been recognized as emerging pollutants because of their wide distribution and adverse impacts on human health. Several approaches have been proposed to alleviate ARGs. However, limi...
Postdoctoral researcher Abdelrhman Mohamed and graduate student Gretchen Tibbitts used an electric probe to measure bacterial electrochemical signals and to identify antibiotic resistance in less than 90 minutes.

The antibiotic, first identified by Nosopharm, is unique and promising on two fronts: its unconventional source and its distinct way of killing bacteria, both of which suggest the compound may be effective at treating drug-resistant or hard-to-treat bacterial infections. Called odilorhabdins, or...
More than 80% of those who played the game increased their cancer-related knowledge, allowing them to be better able to talk about cancer and manage the side effects. Young people who played Re-Mission maintained higher blood levels of chemotherapy and showed higher rates of antibiotic ...
Thanks to such positive developments, Lewis is more optimistic now than before 2015 that a solution to the antibiotic resistance crisis will be found. But “there is still a long way to go”, he says, “because the pace of discovery is modest”. —by Jennifer Cooke ...
Treatment of bacterial infections is one of the major challenges of our time due to the evolved resistance mechanisms of pathogens against antibiotics. To circumvent this problem, it is necessary to understand the mode of action of the drug and the mecha
【关键句】①However, the common methods of sensing resistanceare limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel,and expensive instruments.(第二段第二句)译文:然而,常用的感应电阻检测方法受时间、专业人员的要求和昂贵仪器的限制。②It's easy to see how a simple bandage and light could ...
"We have demonstrated that host-directed therapies are viable for infections such astuberculosis, which is particularly important in the era of extensive antibiotic resistance." More information:Michael Dominic Stutz et al, Macrophage and neutrophil death programs differentially confer resistance to tubercul...
