A groundbreaking study [1] has uncovered how the antibiotic-resistant bacteria Enterobacter can evade the immune system by ...

realized that EDS-HAT was also a treasure trove of detailed historic information that she could mine to learn about the evolution of bacteria over time. Mills focused on vancomycin-resistant ...

A drug-resistant strain of bacteria inhabiting hospital settings has evolved to utilize an antimicrobial genetic tool. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is responsible for many ...

Acquired resistance genes may allow bacteria to degrade or chemically modify antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. They may also produce or upregulate efflux pumps, which actively transport ...

In 2019 alone, antibiotic-resistant bacteria killed more than 4.5 million ... These peptides, such as penicillin and vancomycin, effectively treat infections by targeting specific bacterial ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2011;9(8):653-679. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci are a particular problem in the intensive care units (ICU) of large hospitals where they usually occur because of a ...
