Scientists used artificial intelligence to discover powerful new antibiotics that can kill drug-resistant gonorrhea bacteria. Two of the newly discovered drugs work in completely different ways than any existing antibiotics.
Researchers have created a new way to design antibiotics that bacteria can't easily defeat, potentially reviving drugs that stopped working and paving the way for more effective treatments. The breakthrough could help fight the growing threat of drug-resistant infections.
Scientists at MIT discovered a natural protein in our gut that both strengthens our protective mucus layer and kills dangerous bacteria, including strains that resist antibiotics. This breakthrough could lead to entirely new treatments for gut diseases and drug-resistant infections.
Scientists discovered that pairing two everyday antibiotics can kill a deadly superbug and stop it from becoming resistant. The breakthrough could save thousands of lives threatened by infections that no longer respond to treatment.
Doctors are racing to stay ahead of deadly superbugs that resist all known antibiotics, but breakthrough tools could change everything. New rapid tests, virus therapies, and gene-editing treatments offer real hope in a fight that claims nearly 5 million lives globally each year.
A physicist-turned-biomedical engineer has developed a groundbreaking treatment using light to disable bacteria's defenses, making deadly antibiotic-resistant infections treatable again. The therapy has already saved lives in Brazil and could protect millions from infections that currently kill 4 million people annually.
Australian researchers discovered how to weaponize special sugar molecules to destroy deadly drug-resistant bacteria, offering hope for infections that no longer respond to antibiotics. The breakthrough could save countless lives in hospitals worldwide.
Researchers discovered how to target a protein found only in bacteria, opening the door to new antibiotics that could outsmart drug-resistant superbugs. The breakthrough focuses on disrupting how bacteria build DNA without harming human cells.
A partnership between GARDP and Debiopharm is advancing a promising new antibiotic to fight gonorrhea strains that no longer respond to existing treatments. This breakthrough could protect millions from a growing global health threat.
Scientists say individuals have real power to slow antimicrobial resistance, one of medicine's biggest threats. The solution starts with a simple action anyone can take.
Scientists are using artificial intelligence to create targeted antibiotics that kill dangerous bacteria while leaving helpful gut microbes unharmed. This breakthrough could save millions of lives while slowing the global antibiotic resistance crisis.
Scientists in Mumbai have cracked a way to make antibiotic-resistant bacteria vulnerable again using specially designed DNA sequences. The breakthrough could restore the power of older antibiotics that bacteria learned to defeat.
Finnish scientists turned forestry waste into a powerful filter that pulls nearly all antibiotics from water before they reach rivers and drinking supplies. The discovery could help stop the dangerous spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
A calming compound found in Korean skincare products can destroy antibiotic-resistant bacteria, offering new hope in the fight against deadly superbugs. Scientists discovered madecassic acid targets a protein system that humans don't have, making it a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics.
Nine youth teams across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East just won funding to tackle a health crisis threatening 39 million lives. Their creative campaigns will help communities use antibiotics more wisely.
