ANTIBIOTICS are widely considered one of the most important advances in the history of medicine. Their introduction into ...

We are also studying permeability mechanisms of aminoglycoside resistance in E. coli and we are using genomic surveillance to rank the importance of different antibiotic exclusion strategies in ...

Antimicrobial resistance is largely due to the overuse ... requires a thorough understanding of the different molecular ...

Class A enzymes include β-lactamases that are active against penicillins and cephalosporins as well as extended-spectrum β-lactamases that are also active against penicillins and cephalosporins ...

and there are many other types of mechanism, which just goes to show that antibiotic resistance is a multifactorial, complex issue that really needs a community effort with many people working on ...

The aim of this review is principally to discuss the antibacterial activity of colistin, mechanisms of action and resistance, combination therapy and also its use for the treatment of infections ...

In a new study, researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the mechanism of how bacteria build up defenses against being infected by viruses.

Aminoglycosides can override the stop signal ... and the study revealed a novel mechanism through which future drugs could potentially override the erroneous stop signal. The next step is to ...
