Early detection and public health interventions are critical in improving sepsis survival rates and limiting its long-term ...

semapimod sensitizes Gram-negative bacteria to drugs that are typically only active against gram-positive bacteria. Valeri ...

Bacteria are classified as either Gram-negative or Gram-positive based on their cell wall structure—Gram-negative bacteria have a thick layer of protection, making them difficult to kill. Most ...

This medium is both selective and differential. The selective ingredients are the bile salts and the dye, crystal violet which inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. The differential ingredient ...

Infections by multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) are a global health threat with a worrying increasing trend. In fragile ...

Aztreonam–avibactam is a promising treatment for complicated intra-abdominal infections and hospital-acquired or ...

In gram-negative bacteria, the most common mechanism of resistance is the hydrolysis, or breaking apart, of the antibiotics by enzymes referred to as the beta-lactamases. There are two broad classes ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a virtual Gram staining technique that could transform how microbiologists stain and classify bacteria.
