Phage therapy is effective against the superbug Acinetobacter baumannii
Viral predators can help battle an antibiotic-resistant bacterium considered an "urgent threat" by the CDC
A new antibiotic punctures bacterial cells and destroys a B-vitamin
The one-two punch may prevent the development of resistance to this antibiotic
Could we kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria by impaling them on nanowires?
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have softer cell walls that leave them vulnerable
The two halves of a new compound team up to fight cancer
When combined, ruthenium and platinum do a better job at killing cancer cells than their individual parts
Antibiotics in fish farming create resistance and are an animal welfare disaster. It’s time for a change
Aquaculture, like agriculture, has an antibiotic problem
Rapid DNA sequencing of unknown bacteria helps doctors choose which antibiotics to treat it with
This could cut treatment time from days to hours and decrease overall antibiotic use
Using artificial intelligence to discover new treatments for superbugs
Machine learning is pointing researchers toward molecules that are structurally different from current antibiotics
Regular soap and water is enough to fend off coronavirus. Don't use antibacterials
Antibacterial soaps are no more effective than regular soaps, and could be doing harm down the line
We need to talk about our current global antimicrobial resistance crisis — in a more effective manner
Antimicrobial resistance has been declared a global health threat, but we're running into barriers when it comes to communication

We have many tools in the fight against antibiotic resistance, and we should consider not using them
New studies hold promise for treating tuberculosis — but also suggest that sometimes the best course of action in treating infections is no action
How do researchers study a deadly bacterium? They give mice our immune system
Trying to understand MRSA, a recent study used mice whose defenses were 5 to 63 percent human
