outperforming traditional antibiotics. The mechanism of action involves disrupting membrane integrity, increasing ROS generation, and interfering with DNA function, which collectively contribute ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: ...

the number of antibiotics available to efficiently combat them is dwindling. Consequently, there is a pressing need for new drugs, preferably with novel modes of action to avert the problem of ...

mechanisms of action, and structure-activity relationships of antibiotics and related types of biologically active substances - Biosynthesis, bioconversion, taxonomy and genetic studies on ...

Evidence has emerged about the way bacteria become resistant to multiple drugs. The findings by a John Innes Centre research ...

Alarmingly, the team also found that resistance mutations may already exist in bacterial populations, likely due to the overuse of older antibiotics and the shared resistance mechanisms between ...

The data suggests that the body's use of nutrient scarcity as a defense mechanism may actually enable bacteria's survival in the long run.
