Overall, the recent advancements in antimicrobial agents highlight the importance of exploring novel chemical structures and mechanisms of action to effectively combat the growing threat of ...

Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of antibiotics, a type of drug - such as penicillin or ciprofloxacin - that kills or stops the growth of bacteria. When bacteria ...

Despite the great potential of such antibiotics, little is known about their mechanism of action and the bacterial reaction ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistance.

“The antibiotic mechanism is novel ... reacts with the protein and kills the bacteria. Its unique action and composition means it can overcome any attempt by bacteria to mutate.

Antibiotic resistance can develop to new antibiotics even before they reach the market, undermining their future effectiveness. Once introduced, new antibiotics may be rendered ineffective by ...

These are antimicrobial peptides that often have ... "This specificity is presumably mediated by a very special mechanism of action that we were able to decipher in detail," says Grein.

The most common mechanisms of resistance to colistin are ... Although the use of colistin is considered to be effective, other antibiotics are often used in combination with colistin.

First, Dr. Jayanta Haldar (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research) will discuss the growing threat posed by drug-resistant bacteria through his work with Vancomycin, a blockbuster ...

In recent years, colistin has attracted considerable interest as an antibiotic for use against ... antibacterial activity of colistin, mechanisms of action and resistance, combination therapy ...
