In 2020, an estimated 82.4 million new gonorrhea infections occurred among adults aged 15–49 globally 1. Resistance Trends Gonococcal resistance has evolved across multiple antibiotic ...

Bacterial resistance negates the effect of antibiotics in the treatment of infection. Using mouse models, researchers now show that if antibiotics are administered with an enzyme called endolysin, the ...

A new antibiotic that works by disrupting two different cellular targets would make it 100 million times more difficult for bacteria to evolve resistance, according to new research from the University ...

For the first time in seven years, the World Health Organization has updated its list of the most dangerous, antimicrobial resistant pathogens. The revised list includes 24 pathogens from 15 different ...
