The bacterial ribosome, a complex molecular machine responsible for protein synthesis, is the target of many clinically important antibiotics. Resistance arises through a variety of ribosomal ...

A newly discovered mechanism renders antibiotic-resistant bacteria vulnerable by disabling both their individual resistance and a process known as cross-protection, the ability of resistant bacteria ...

What if we could predict early in drug development which antibiotics bacteria are most likely to become resistant to? In a ...

Biofilm-induced antibiotic resistance arises from the collective lifestyle of microbial cells enmeshed within a self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix adhering to surfaces. This matrix serves as ...

A new study led by Kumar Venkitanarayanan, dean of the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR), has ...

A joint research team has identified a new mechanism underlying antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major multidrug-resistant "superbug." The discovery provides important clues for the ...

The CDC 2026 Antimicrobial Resistance Threats Report details an estimated 9.7 million annual infections and 50,800 deaths in the US.

Last fall, more than 100 people in 14 states got sick after eating at McDonald’s. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention traced the outbreak to raw onions on the quarter-pounder hamburger, ...

Metagenomic libraries have been prepared to screen for the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in tiny environmental samples. Scientists from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign College of ...

Antibiotic resistance allows bacteria to grow despite antibiotic exposure, whereas antibiotic tolerance allows them to survive lethal treatment longer without increasing MIC. Understanding this ...
