A powerful new antibiotic candidate has been hiding in plain sight inside a well known bacterial compound, and in early lab ...

In a recent study, researchers demonstrated that a novel compound could treat flesh-eating Gram-positive bacterial infections in mice, potentially offering a new class of antibiotics. Researchers at ...

“It’s genuinely surprising that the add-on gives vancomycin any ability at all to hit gram negatives,” says Kim Lewis, an ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis developed a novel compound that effectively clears Gram-positive bacterial infections in mice, in particular skin and soft tissue ...

The emergence of multi-drug resistance bacteria and healthcare-associated infections are frequent issues in the treatment of suppurating wounds. A group of researchers has created a bactericidal ...

In a large cohort, long-acting lipoglycopeptides (laLGPs) demonstrated comparable effectiveness to standard-of-care antibiotics for step-down treatment of serious Gram-positive bacterial infections in ...

Clostridium perfringens is a spore-forming bacteria that can function without oxygen (anaerobic bacteria). These gram-positive bacteria are typically found in human and animal intestines. Bacteria are ...

Due to increasing antibiotic resistance in pathogens causing infections, the development of new antibacterial substances is needed. Scientists are testing out a new group of substances produced by ...

• Require X (hemin) and/or V (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) factors for growth • Responsible for 0.5–1% of all cases of IE • Haemophilus aphrophilus is the most common species responsible for IE ...
