Rising heat and drought may spur bacteria to exchange antibiotic resistance genes, with potential risks to human health.

New research suggests drought-parched soil turbocharges antibiotic resistance in nature, and with UK summers getting drier, ...

Bronchoscopy-based lower airway sequencing showed higher resistome abundance and diversity in COPD, bronchiectasis, and ...

Even when bacteria appear susceptible in routine tests, tolerance can let them survive therapy long enough to drive ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have found a way to use a bacterium's own drug resistance mechanisms against itself, presenting a potentially safer and more effective way to treat ...

As droughts grow more severe, a hidden danger is emerging from the ground — a discovery researchers are describing as a "wakeup call," according to Scientific American. A recent study published in ...

Antibiotic resistance tends to stabilize over time, according to Sonja Lehtinen, PhD, from the University of Lausanne and colleagues. The team published its study, “The evolution of antibiotic ...

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 ...

The new scientific research was presented at the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Global ...

A traditional medicinal plant, tormentil, shows promise against antibiotic-resistant bacteria in laboratory tests. Its ...
