JSF-2659, developed to be administered orally, could be a game changer in treating Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which is on the World Health Organization’s global list of “priority pathogens” for its resistance to existing drugs.
The latest research and expert commentary on the monkeypox outbreak.
With antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the rise, scientists have been searching for ways to shut down the Type IV secretion system (T4SS), a protein complex on the outer envelope of bacterial cells that helps them to exchange DNA with neighboring bacteria and resist antibiotics.
Researchers have created a mathematical model to predict genetic resistance to antimalarial drugs in Africa to manage one of the biggest threats to global malarial control.
An international consortium analyzed the genetic sequences and antibiotic susceptibility of more than 10,000 global Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates.

Urinary tract infections are common, yet can be tough to treat as the bacteria that cause them become resistant to many antibiotics. In ACS Central Science, researchers report a new molecule that inhibits drug-resistant bacteria in lab experiments, as well as in mice with pneumonia and UTIs.
An international research team has deciphered the mechanism by which the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is resistant to fungus-specific drugs.
Scientists are using new technologies to obtain unprecedented looks inside viruses and their unique abilities to infect and destroy bacteria. Using cryo-EM and other technologies, they found that jumbo phage cells feature a compartment that is surprisingly similar to the nucleus of human cells.
Here are some of the latest articles that have been added to the Drug Resistance channel on Newswise, a free source for journalists.
Researchers at Canada's McMaster University have discovered a significant and previously unknown mechanism that many bacteria use to resist antibiotics.
Patients with relapsed multiple myeloma are resistant to commonly used treatments. Researchers are one step closer to understanding the genetic reason why.
Patients who have indwelling urinary catheters often suffer from urinary tract infections, which can be difficult to treat.
New research, led by a team a the University of Bristol, has revealed an association between the feeding of raw meat to pet dogs and the presence of bacteria resistant to critically important antibiotics.
The latest research news in Climate Science on Newswise.
Scientists have uncovered an intriguing new understanding of how viruses and the hosts they infect evolve new innovations to outcompete each other. Culminating a 10-year research effort, the researchers tracked the way fitness landscapes constantly change in the ongoing struggle for survival.
Silents are potentially golden in the search for antibiotics to slow the ongoing crisis of resistance in the treatment of disease.
UC San Diego researchers say they may have found the reason why multiple human clinical trials of staphylococcus vaccines have failed: the bacteria knows us too well.
Lactobacilli that live in the human female urinary tract’s microbiome are competitive and kill nearby pathogenic bacteria, says the first study of its kind done at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). Greater understanding of the processes involved could lead to new therapies.
Experts Encourage Rapid Genomic Screenings and Development of New Therapeutics for Drug-Resistant Pathogens to Address Emerging Global Health Concern
A new study reveals why a highly infectious variant of the cholera bug, which caused large disease outbreaks in the early 1990s, did not cause the eighth cholera pandemic as feared – but instead unexpectedly disappeared.
