Imagine falling seriously ill with an infection. Normally, we visit the doctor, are prescribed antibiotics, and after 7-10 days, we're back on our feet. But today, it is no longer guaranteed that the ...

Light-activated copper microrobots use single-atom catalysis and peroxide to penetrate biofilms, generate reactive oxygen species, and eliminate MRSA infections. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Bacterial ...

Scientists have designed nanoagents that act like smart drug-delivery capsules—carrying an antibiotic deep into bacterial ...

A research team at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson is developing a drug that works in combination with copper to kill bacteria, including those that cause MRSA, a type of staph ...

A small molecular strand could hold the key to solving one of the greatest global health challenges. When bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics, it can be deadly, but researchers have now decoded ...

While MRSA can be treated with other antibiotics, bacteria's ability to evolve drug resistance means finding novel treatments is crucial. "History has shown us that bacteria have an exquisite ability ...
