An experiment in lab mice found that certain human gut bacteria can absorb PFAS, commonly called "forever chemicals," until they are excreted, new study finds.

Vaginal microbiome-drug interactions affect antibiotic treatment for bacterial vaginosis, emphasizing the need for ...

Scientists have studied a new target for antibiotics in the greatest detail yet – in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

An international research team led by the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) has discovered a new strategy used by ...

Animal antibiotic dependency, she says, has an impact on humans too, since antibiotic-resistant bacteria don’t just stay in the barn. They spread, share genes, and eventually jump to humans. “Our ...

Key messages – Medicine that kills bacteria (antibiotics) may result in unsuccessful treatment of symptoms for a few people. – Antibiotics may reduce wound infection but increase time spent at the ...

Bacterial transformation is important to the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soils, and soil pore water is recognized as a hot spot for dissemination of ARGs. However, little is ...

A major cause of hospital-acquired infections, the super bacteria Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), not only exhibits strong resistance to existing antibiotics but also forms a dense ...

Rapid monitoring of real bacterial metabolic perturbations to antibiotics may be helpful to better understand the mechanisms of action and more targeted treatment. In this study, the real metabolic ...
