Active Genetics (Pro-AG) exploits a naturally created bacterial mating tunnel between cells to inactivate antibiotic resistance.

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing health threat, but its evolution outside laboratory settings is poorly understood. Bacteria living in the human gut are now found to evolve persistent ...

Researchers developed a CRISPR-based system that spreads through bacterial populations to disable antibiotic resistance genes ...

Antibiotics are powerful, fast-acting medications designed to eradicate bacterial infections. However, in recent years, their dependability has waned as antibiotic resistant bacteria continues to ...

The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is diminishing the effectiveness of existing antibiotics and intensifying the need for discovery pipelines that are both ...

Imagine going to the hospital for a bacterial ear infection and hearing your doctor say, “We’re out of options.” It may sound ...

Explore how India's drug policy fails to address antimicrobial resistance as an evolutionary consequence of antibiotic use and governance.

The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...

Antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs), which can pass into bacteria and make them immune to antibiotics, have been detected in more or less every environment on Earth. They are present even in Antarctica, ...

A universal vaccine would work to help combat the development of AMR in several ways. Firstly, it would protect the individual from getting infected. Prevention of primary infection removes the ...
