Drug Resistance

In the future, this research may help develop better treatments for bacterial infections

Targeting an RNA sequence in pathogenic bacteria could make them more sensitive to antibiotics

While it's unlikely the mutation will lead to widespread resistance around the world, it could become a problem among family members in close proximity, and in facilities like hospitals and nursing homes

Exploiting a strategy known as collateral sensitivity in bacteria could lead to the development of novel and sustainable treatments

The new study re-analyzed data from three pivotal TB trials that had failed to show the efficacy of four-month treatments over the standard six-month duration

Case Western Reserve researchers uncover novel drug targets by piecing together receptor structures

Discovery of C. botulinum toxin in a strain of Enterococcus is raising concern

Dana-Farber researchers say discovery may help identify kidney cancer and melanoma patients that will benefit from checkpoint inhibitor treatment

Deactivating pumps could make antibiotic-resistant bacteria treatable again
