Talk about a culture shock. Microplastics, like the ones pictured here, have been linked to several health concerns. Researchers from Boston University identified another downside to microplastics — ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

For bacteria, microplastics are the perfect meetup spot—tiny, intimate surfaces where microbes can cling, huddle close and swap genes. And these crowded bacterial breeding grounds may pose a threat to ...

Tackling antibiotic resistance likely requires a multifaceted approach. Better and faster point-of-care testing, new treatments, and antimicrobial stewardship could hold promise for future control.

From diagnostics to CRISPR and policy reform, explore how science and society are working together to combat the rising threat of antibiotic resistance.

Stanford University researchers report that ciprofloxacin use drives persistent antibiotic resistance in human gut bacteria, with resistance emerging independently across diverse species and enduring ...

New research suggests that natural compounds from turmeric and rhubarb may help fight certain antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Imagine going to the hospital for a bacterial ear infection and hearing your doctor say, “We’re out of options.” It may sound dramatic, but antibiotic resistance is pushing that scenario closer to ...

A new Rutgers Health study reveals a surprising twist in the antibiotic resistance story: instead of simply killing bacteria, drugs like ciprofloxacin can actually trigger a kind of microbial survival ...

For bacteria, microplastics are the perfect meetup spot—tiny, intimate surfaces where microbes can cling, huddle close and swap genes. And these crowded bacterial breeding grounds may pose a threat to ...

A new World Health Organization study finds 1 in 6 infections worldwide are resistant to some antibiotics, highlighting a growing threat from drug-resistant bacteria. The World Health Organization ...
