Seven days of antibiotics was noninferior to 14 days for treating Gram-negative bloodstream infections, supporting shorter ...

Most species of bacteria can be broadly divided into two groups, known as gram-positive and gram-negative. These categories ...

Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria differ in the composition of their cell walls. Gram-negative bacteria have a double layer of protection, making them more difficult to kill, Muñoz said.

A new drug conjugate tricks Gram-negative bacteria into succumbing to an antibiotic that usually works only against Gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative bacterial infections are tough to treat ...

A team of Princeton researchers has identified a compound that can kill both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria via two independent mechanisms, as well as resist antibiotic resistance.

This review examines the effects of appropriate antibiotic therapy or inappropriate antibiotic therapy against gram-negative bacterial infections in the hospital setting.

A 7-day antibiotic course has demonstrated noninferiority compared with a 14-day course in treating uncomplicated gram-negative bacteremia, according to a study published in Clinical Infectious ...

Empiric gram-negative antibiotic use varied significantly across the United States, with high inter-hospital variability, according to a recent study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.

An antibiotic developed some 80 years ago before being abandoned and forgotten could again offer exciting new solutions, this time to the emerging threat of drug-resistant superbugs. Half of the ...

Most of these infections are attributable to Gram-negative bacteria, which have a hard outer cell membrane that many antibiotics fail to penetrate, Tajkhorshid said. In 2017, U. of I. chemistry ...

Gram-negative bacteria comprise most of the CDC and WHO’s lists of critical and urgent antibiotic-resistant organism threats. The problem of gram-negative resistance was exacerbated by the COVID ...

An antibiotic called thanatin attacks the way the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is built. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now found out that this happens through a ...
