Bacteriophages (viruses that invade bacteria and can kill them) have gained renewed interest as part of measures to combat the…
Novel research suggests that some drugs may prevent the acquisition of resistance genes by preventing the induction of bacterial ‘competence’.
When investigating the effect tolerance to a single drug has when combination therapy is being used to prevent antibiotic resistance, a team of researchers demonstrated that antimicrobial tolerance can promote resistance.
A team from the University of California, San Diego have created a new CRISPR editing system that can effectively target antibiotic resistance genes. The system is based on a positive feedback loop and has numerous potential applications, such as treating chronic bacterial infections.
The editorial teams from Infectious Diseases Hub and Future Microbiology are delighted to bring you our inaugural glossary, ‘The Glossary for Antimicrobial Resistance’. Take a look!
The CDC has released an updated report outlining the burden of antimicrobial resistance in the USA and the greatest threats that face this country.
