Antibiotic efflux pumps are expressed in all microbes, where they serve as crucial gatekeepers in resisting the cellular ...

An engineered protein turns off the kind of immune cells most likely to damage tissue as part of type-1 diabetes, hepatitis, ...

Scientists discovered a key protein, MigC, that helps a dangerous superbug, *A. baumannii*, build its protective outer layer ...

MHH researchers find antimicrobial peptides on axolotl skin that not only fight dangerous hospital germs but also tumour cells as an effective antibiotic alternative.

A major cause of hospital-acquired infections, the super bacteria Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), not only exhibits strong resistance to existing antibiotics but also forms a dense ...

A protein from Helicobacter pylori inhibits amyloid formation in both microbes and humans, offering new leads for ...

Zosurabalpin is able to destroy Gram-negative bacteria by jamming LPS molecules inside the bacteria, weakening its membrane. It is the first of its class of antibiotics, and the first new class of ...

Lariocidin hits drug-resistant bacteria where others fail — by hijacking the ribosome at a new site, bypassing defences, and opening the door to a new generation of antibiotics. Lariocidin, a ...

To address the global threat of antibiotic resistance, scientists are on the hunt for new ways to sneak past a bacterial cell's defense system. Taking what they learned from a previous study on ...

Antibiotics kill disease-causing bacteria as well as the beneficial ones living in our gut, ... Bacteria are classified as gram-positive or gram-negative based on their cell membrane composition.

But because the antibiotics appeared to discriminate between beneficial and pathogenic gram-negative bacteria in cell culture experiments, they represented promising candidates for further ...
