Antibiotic resistance happens when an antibiotic loses its ability to effectively control or kill bacteria. The bacteria become "resistant" and continue to grow because the antibiotic being administered has no ability to kill them. The World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control ...
Many antibiotics are very specific as to the species of bacteria it wants to target and kill. When developing resistance, this particular bacteria can change parts of itself so it is unrecognizable to the very antibiotic designed to destroy it....
Manuel Razo-Mejia:When I expose bacteria to antibiotics, they’re going to become resistant, which is very bad because we haven’t discovered a new antibiotic in the last 30 years. Growing up back in Mexico, you did...
This discovery opens new pathways for fighting with dangerous infections and addressing the growing concern of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It is not just a mere scientific curiosity but has significant implications for medical and environmental applications. "Iron levels are definitely a target for ...
What is bacterial vaginosis? Antibiotic resistance This colorized image (a scanning-electron micrograph) shows four spherical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria (purple) in the process of being “ingested” by a human neutrophil white blood cell (blue).

What type of bacteria is E. coli? Why is this type of bacteria more resistant to antibiotics?Bacteria:Bacteria are one of the vital prokaryotic species that is typically derived from a single cell and thus has significant biological importance. There are many categorie...

Scarlet fever is less common than it was one hundred years ago because of antibiotic use and it only occurs in those who are susceptible to the toxins produced by the Streptococcal bacteria. It mostly occurs in children aged 4 to 8 years. By 10 years old more than 80% of children have ...
As predicted almost 70 years ago by the man who discovered the first antibiotic, drug resistance is upon us. How do antibiotics work? Although there are a number of different types of antibiotic they all work in one of two ways: A bactericidal antibiotic kills the bacteria. Penicillin is a...
