Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The ...

Due to increasing antibiotic resistance in pathogens causing infections, the development of new antibacterial substances is needed. Scientists are testing out a new group of substances produced by ...

Lariocidin hits drug-resistant bacteria where others fail — by hijacking the ribosome at a new site, bypassing defences, and opening the door to a new generation of antibiotics. Lariocidin, a ...

Many bacteria produce substances to gain an advantage over competitors in their highly competitive natural environment. Researchers have discovered a new so-called lantibiotic, namely epilancin A37.

Researchers have found that antibiotic-resistant bacteria are fatter and shorter than their antibiotic-sensitive parental strains, and that these morphological changes correlate with changes in the ...
