The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved GSK's Utebzi (tebipenem pivoxil), an oral antibiotic, for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs).

A Monash University-led study has found that an unusual pairing of two commonly used antibiotics can kill and stop the spread of resistance in a highly drug-resistant bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause life-threatening bloodstream infections, pneumonia and meningi

A new study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has revealed that long-term Salmonella infections severely damage blood stem cells—the essential factory cells in bone marrow that produce all the body's blood and immune cells. However, the research, published in Cell Rep

For anyone undergoing a total hip or knee replacement, the goal is a smooth recovery and a return to pain-free movement. However, a possible risk from these procedures is periprosthetic joint infection.

Children who have been in contact with dogs in early childhood are, on average, healthier and require fewer courses of antibiotics than children without such contact. The protective association is explained, at least in part, by the spread of dog-associated microbes in the home.

Antibiotic prescribing has remained above 95% for uncomplicated diverticulitis at Veterans Affairs facilities, according to a study published online June 23 in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Variants of sexually transmitted Shigella—a bacterial infection that causes bloody or prolonged diarrhea and can lead to severe dehydration—are causing more disease and becoming increasingly antibiotic-resistant among sections of the U.K.'s LGBTQ+ community, a new Cambridge study

A new systematic review has found that both the way a baby is born and exposure to antibiotics around the time of birth could be linked to differences in the development of the infant gut microbiome. The review also found that exclusively breastfeeding babies born by cesarean sec

Wearable devices have transformed how people track exercise, sleep, heart rate and other vital signs. Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) are now exploring whether similar technologies could one day help monitor medicines inside the body.

Resíduos farmacêuticos vêm contaminando águas e solos em todo o mundo, contribuindo para o avanço de bactérias resistentes a antibióticos, que podem causar até 10 milhões de mortes por ano nas próximas décadas.

O director de investigação no Instituto Pasteur, em Paris, o cientista português Eduardo Rocha, dedica-se ao estudo da evolução bacteriana, da diversidade genética e dos mecanismos que permitem às bactérias trocar informação genética entre si. Um trabalho fundamental para compree

Researchers found that highly drug-resistant bacteria from hospitals are also resistant to glyphosate, a commonly used weedkiller. The discovery suggests that agricultural herbicides may be helping antibiotic-resistant microbes survive and spread far beyond healthcare settings.
