Next-gen antibiotic kills superbugs but leaves good gut bacteria alone
Posted by ArielTechGeek 334 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiome can compromise health and make people more susceptible to opportunistic infection by pathogens like C. difficile. The widespread rise of superbugs resistant to antibiotics further complicates their use.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Antibiotic, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Microbiome, Gut Bacteria, University of Illinois
New antibiotic family kills superbugs in a way they can't resist
Posted by ArielTechGeek 484 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are poised to become a global health concern in the coming decades. In the race to develop new weapons, scientists from Texas A&M have created a novel family of antibacterial polymers that can kill 'superbugs' in a way they can't evolve resistance to.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Superbugs, Texas A&M Univ
Titanium spikes kill superbugs drug-free by literally ripping them apart
Posted by ArielTechGeek 609 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Inspired by the bacteria-killing structures seen on the wings of some insects, researchers have developed a drug-free way to kill off drug-resistant microbes that commonly cause hospital-acquired infections. Their technique is a novel and effective way of tackling the problem of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Microbes, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria,
Novel 'fast, tenacious' molecule can KO drug-resistant superbugs
Posted by ArielTechGeek 629 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Decades of work has seemingly paid off with scientists developing a potent new synthetic molecule that swiftly knocked out 285 strains of bacteria it was tested on, setting it up as a valuable ally in our fight against a looming superbug infection crisis.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Duke University, Antibacterial, Bacteria, Viruses and Bacteria, Infections, Superbugs, Antibioti
"Molecular wedge" renders superbugs vulnerable to antibiotics again
Posted by ArielTechGeek 638 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
We’re locked in an arms race with bacteria – and worryingly, it looks like we’re losing, as they increasingly develop resistance to our best drugs. Now, scientists at the University of Oklahoma have identified a new class of molecules that disable a major superbug weapon, which could make existing antibiotics effective again.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Antibiotic, Antibiotic-r
Bacteria-activated, self-assembling "nanonets" trap and kill superbugs
Posted by ArielTechGeek 785 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Bacteria are fast developing resistance to our best antibiotics, potentially ushering in a new “dark age of medicine” where currently treatable infections become lethal once again. Now, scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed self-assembling “nanonets” that can trap and kill bacteria.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Antibiotic-resistant bac
