Three case reports of liver problems after taking the antibiotic telithromycin (Ketek®) are reported in Annals of Internal Medicine. Researchers at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N. C., say that one of the patients died; one required and received a…
Researchers from Zhejiang University, et al. have conducted a study entitled “Diversified antibiotic resistance and sensitivity patterns induced by quaternary ammonium compounds”. This study was published in Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering, Volume 19, Issue 8. Diversified Antibiotic Resistance and Sensitivity Patterns…
Infectious Diseases May 21, 2020 The second piece in the Understanding UTIs series provides information about preventing urinary tract infections, including risk factors and how to avoid them. Elizabeth, a 35-year-old working mother and graduate student, has experienced three urinary tract infections…

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents publishes data showing that BV100 reaches concentrations in lung fluid and alveolar macrophages approximately 35-fold and over 300-fold higher, respectively, than in plasma, providing a strong pharmacological rationale for BV100 use in severe CRAB pneumonia Journal of…
Researchers at Intermountain Healthcare have conducted a landmark, first-of-its-kind survey to identify and stratify antimicrobial stewardship programs into four different groups -- a first step toward studying the effectiveness of these models to best enhance patient care and reduce the rise…
The findings, which appear today in Nature, could lead to the development of a microbial transplant for patients that manages antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a more targeted way and with fewer side effects than current treatments. "Despite two decades of microbiome…
The genome of the organism that produces the world's most lethal toxin has now been revealed. This toxin is the one real weapon in the genome of Clostridium botulinum and less than 2 kg - the weight of two bags of sugar…
StarLineArts/istock via getty im Biofilms — an ancient biological phenomenon dating back to roughly 3.4 billion years ago — are complex communities of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that form a protective matrix after adhering to any surface where the environment provides…
Antibiotic resistance, where microorganisms that cause disease evolve to survive the treatments that once killed them, represents a global public health concern. The overuse of antimicrobial agents in humans, livestock and industrial agriculture is the main reason for the spread…
Antimicrobial resistance: superbugs, new antibiotics, antibiotic misuse and stewardship, and the global toll.
