Bacteriophages (phages) are probably the most abundant entities in nature, often exceeding bacterial densities by an order of magnitude. As viral predators of bacteria, phages have a major impact on ...

Sensitivity analysis, also called susceptibility testing, helps your doctor find the most effective antibiotic to kill an infecting microorganism. Infecting microorganisms are organisms such as ...

We rely on antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, but the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria forces doctors and patients to contend with shifting treatment plans. Furthermore, current ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic peptide that can make multidrug-resistant bacteria sensitive to antibiotics again when used together with traditional antibiotics, offering hope for the prospect ...

‌Your doctor might order an antibiotic sensitivity test to find the best treatment for you when you have an infection. It helps determine both the appropriate antibiotic and dosage that you need to ...

Distance between the two membranes of the periplasm plays a key role in fighting against bacteria. Increasing the distance can make antibiotic resistant bacteria sensitive again. Increasing the ...

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a synthetic peptide that can make multidrug-resistant bacteria sensitive to antibiotics again when used ...

A new, rapid and low-cost method for detecting bacteria in water or a food sample was developed by a research team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Once commercially available, it should be ...
