Some notoriously difficult to treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to new research using a microfluidic device that more closely duplicates the fluid ...

An uncomplicated urinary tracti infection (UTI) could go away on its own, but waiting increases the risk of symptoms turning ...

Microplastics-tiny shards of plastic debris-are all over the planet. They have made their way up food chains, accumulated in oceans, clustered in clouds and on mountains, and been found inside our ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global issue, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital ...

The microscopic shards of plastic found in every corner of the planet may be exacerbating antibiotic resistance, a new study has found. Bacteria exposed to these ubiquitous fragments, known as ...

A total of 9% of placebo recipients contracted COVID-19 from a household member, compared with 3% of ensitrelvir recipients, ...

Medical honey proves effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, transforming wound care and offering hope in the fight ...

Bacteria exposed to microplastics can become resistant to antibiotics, a new study has found. Researchers from the US investigated how bacteria reacted when exposed to different concentrations ...

Microplastics are accumulating in vital organs and promoting antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which can prolong diseases and increase mortality. A study showed that bacteria like E. coli form ...

Cefiderocol exhibited clinical utility among a cohort of immunocompromised adult inpatients with MDR infections.

“These bacteria were not only resistant to antibiotics, but they were also better at creating biofilm,” she said. “For microplastics to facilitate bacteria to be these faster, better biofilm ...
