Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut ...

Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists at Texas A&M AgriLife ...

The dangers for infection aren’t only caused by microbes, but also by the molecular signals they release. To detect and neutralize these signals, may be the next era for infectious disease control.” — ...

Sepsis, a common complication following burns, trauma, and major surgery, remains the leading cause of death among critically ill patients. Globally, there are about 48.9 million sepsis patients and ...

WHO’s director of antimicrobial resistance, Dr Yvan Hutin, says science needs to catch up with drug-resistant bacteria.

A new study found that a multifaceted infection prevention and control intervention could at least temporarily thwart ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in the accuracy and speed at which often deadly pathogen infections can be identified and treated. This is time that, in many cases, is critical to saving a ...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses have caused widespread infections in dairy cows and poultry in the United States, with sporadic human cases. We describe characteristics of human ...

Being sick always seems to impact appetite, even inspiring the old adage to “feed a cold and starve a fever.” Now researchers with the Salk Institute have demonstrated that bacteria can block the loss ...
