Researchers have devised a method for investigating how effective antibiotics are against different bacterial strains.

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...

A new single cell-based screening tool evaluates how well antibiotics kill bacteria and may help researchers determine which ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

Ensuring pharmaceutical safety and efficacy hinges on rigorous quality control (QC). By identifying potential microbial contaminants early in drug development and production, microbial QC tests ...

Human history was forever changed with the discovery of antibiotics in 1928. Infectious diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis and sepsis were widespread and lethal until antibiotics made them ...

Molecular machines that kill infectious bacteria have been engineered to function with a more clinically useful light power source. The latest iteration of these synthetic nanoscale drills, or ...
