New antibiotic nearly eliminates the chance of superbugs evolving
Posted by ArielTechGeek 279 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have combined the bacteria-killing actions of two classes of antibiotics into one, demonstrating that their new dual-action antibiotic could make bacterial resistance (almost) an impossibility.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Antibiotic, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, University of Illinois
Next-gen antibiotic kills superbugs but leaves good gut bacteria alone
Posted by ArielTechGeek 335 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiome can compromise health and make people more susceptible to opportunistic infection by pathogens like C. difficile. The widespread rise of superbugs resistant to antibiotics further complicates their use.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Antibiotic, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Microbiome, Gut Bacteria, University of Illinois
New antibiotic family kills superbugs in a way they can't resist
Posted by ArielTechGeek 485 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are poised to become a global health concern in the coming decades. In the race to develop new weapons, scientists from Texas A&M have created a novel family of antibacterial polymers that can kill 'superbugs' in a way they can't evolve resistance to.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Superbugs, Texas A&M Univ
Digital algorithm shown to significantly reduce antibiotic prescription
Posted by ArielTechGeek 499 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study has found that using a digital support algorithm to guide diagnosis and treatment by healthcare providers significantly reduced the number of antibiotic prescriptions given to acutely sick children, without affecting treatment success or causing harm.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Antibiotic, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Children, Algorithms, University of Lausanne
Popular antibiotic lessens organ damage caused by high blood pressure
Posted by ArielTechGeek 545 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Gut health can dramatically affect whole-body health. One of the latest findings to support this idea shows that using an antibiotic to alter the bacteria in the guts of rats lessened the damage to the heart and kidneys sometimes seen with hypertension.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Heart Disease, Blood Pressure, kidney, Antibiotic, Heart, Charité - Universi
Microbial dark matter yields new type of superbug-busting antibiotic
Posted by ArielTechGeek 617 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have derived an antibiotic from microbes living in the sandy soil of North Carolina. Because it works completely differently than others before it, clovibactin might help turn the tide in the battle against superbugs that resist current drugs.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Superbugs, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Microbes, Bonn University, Utrecht University, Northea
Bad drug, good weedkiller: "Failed" antibiotic repurposed as herbicide
Posted by ArielTechGeek 707 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Just as antibiotic resistance is a problem for human health, herbicide resistance represents a huge problem for the agricultural sector. Researchers have devised a novel strategy to address the issue by repurposing a "failed" antibiotic as a herbicide.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Agriculture, Farming, Antibiotic, University of Adelaide
New antibiotic trial shows promise against dangerous pneumonia superbug
Posted by ArielTechGeek 709 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new antibiotic combo has proven promising in a clinical trial for treating an often-deadly form of pneumonia. The experimental drug was found to be at least as effective in preventing death as the current standard, but with far milder side effects.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Superbugs, Antibiotic, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Bacteria, Rutgers University, clinic, Pneumonia
Antibiotic resistant genes found in clouds ... Yes, clouds
Posted by ArielTechGeek 735 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise, you might have thought that the potentially deadly bugs would be found mostly in the places where people and other animals congregate: namely, the surface of the Earth. But researchers from Canada and France have found them in a most remarkable place.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Cloud, Atmos
