Researchers have developed a novel combination therapy using an anticancer agent, mitoxantrone (MTX), together with an antibiotic, vancomycin, for treating bacteria that are resistant to the ...

A drug-resistant type of bacteria that has adapted to health care settings evolved in the past several years to weaponize an antimicrobial genetic tool, eliminating its cousins and replacing them as ...

Enterococci are Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic cocci that colonise the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals yet have emerged as leading causes of multidrug-resistant hospital-acquired ...

Theresa Wagner has studied enterococci and antibiotic resistance for several years. Here she is photographed in connection with another research project on enterococci. Creating new vaccines is one of ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria from proliferating. The study is published in the journal Microbiome.

Through trend analyses, this surveillance highlighted both the emergence and decline of AMR across diverse bacterial pathogens, helping inform which antibiotics may remain appropriate as first-line ...
