A Bucknell University course-based research project has culminated in a peer-reviewed publication, illustrating how hands-on classroom experiences can lead directly to new scientific knowledge and ...

The team first evaluated six AMPs produced by the bacterial species Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG for their ability to inhibit the growth of ST in vitro. From these, they identified four candidates. All ...

The World Health Organization estimates that 1.27 million people died directly from drug-resistant bacterial strains in 2019 and these strains contributed to 4.95 million deaths. While bacteria ...

A new study found that antimicrobial peptides can combat Salmonella infections in chickens, a major cause of foodborne ...

A common infection-causing bacteria was much less likely to evolve antibiotic resistance when treated with a mixture of antimicrobial peptides rather than a single peptide, making these mixtures a ...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a diverse class of short, cationic molecules that form an integral part of the innate immune system. They not only act directly against invading pathogens through ...

Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health issue that contributes to the emergence of drug-resistant microorganisms, thereby increasing the risk of nosocomial infections. Short peptide ...

New research into antimicrobial peptides, small chains of amino acids able to damage bacterial cells, shows why some peptides are more effective at doing that and also why some cells are more ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the world’s urgent public health problems. New therapeutics and strategies are needed to contend with the growing number of resistant superbugs. Now, ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Among animals that can regrow their detached limbs, Mexico’s ...

The World Health Organization estimates that antibiotic resistant infections kill more than a million people worldwide every year, so many researchers are actively looking for new ways to combat it.
