Scientists have released new images showing, in incredible detail, antibiotics defeating disease-causing bacteria by piercing the microbes' membranes and infiltrating their innards. The antibiotics, ...

Researchers have revealed how polymyxins, crucial last-resort antibiotics, break down bacterial armor by forcing cells to overproduce and shed it. Astonishingly, the drugs only kill bacteria when they ...

A team led by UCL (University College London) and Imperial College London researchers has shown for the first time how life-saving antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armor of harmful bacteria.

Our bodies are a constant battlefield between pathogens and our immune system. But beyond this battle, there’s a larger war being fought between humans and drug-resistant bacteria. When antibiotics ...

Physicians have relied on a class of antibiotics called polymyxins to fight potentially life-threatening Gram-negative bacterial infections for more than 80 years. These drugs are typically reserved ...

The way antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armour of bacteria has been revealed in stunning detail by high-resolution microscopy, which could help us develop new treatments for drug-resistant ...

What if generative AI could design life-saving antibiotics, not just art and text? In a new Cell Biomaterials paper, Penn researchers introduce AMP-Diffusion, a generative AI tool used to create tens ...

Analysis of samples from an expedition to the Arctic Ocean suggest that marine microbes could be a promising new source of antibiotics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Composite image of E. coli exposed to the polymyxin antibiotic – the images show the changes to the outer layer of armour over time. From left to right: bacterium untreated by the antibiotic; ...
