Antibiotic pollution in water is a growing global concern, as residues from human medicine, livestock production, and aquaculture can persist in the environment and contribute to the spread of ...

Researchers describe a fundamental mechanism of antibiotic resistance. What happens in a bacterium that is resistant to the antibiotic fusidic acid? With a stop-motion movie at the atomic level, they ...

Antibiotic resistance is making bacterial infections harder to treat, demanding new therapeutic strategies. A new review ...

We delve into the critical issue of antibiotic resistance. Witness the development of antibiotics, from penicillin's accidental discovery to the ongoing battle against superbugs. Explore the molecular ...

The chemical structure of the new antibiotic was designed by Moses and synthetically assembled by his lab. Dr. Thomas Fallon, Moses’ collaborator at the University of Newcastle, Australia, provided ...

Scientists uncovered how the resistance protein FusB deflects fusidic acid in bacteria, using atomic-level imaging to reveal a crowbar-like resistance mechanism. Antibiotic resistance is a global ...

Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new generative artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of drastically ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. These antibiotics “bind to the active site of the ribosome and make the ribosome incapable of doing what it’s supposed to do. So it becomes impossible ...
