A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...
The aim of this study was to determine the potential association between housing type and multiple drug resistance (MDR) in Escherichia coli and Enter ococcus faecalis isolates recovered from 283 ...
ABSTRACT Among 145 Enterococcus faecalis isolates recovered during a 15‐month period (April 1997‐June 1998) in AHEPA University Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece, 94 (65%) exhibited high‐level resistance ...
Antibiotic resistance is spreading fast all over the world. When infectious bacteria mutate in a certain way and then multiply, they can become resistant to even the most powerful drugs. But research ...
Bacteria that are immune to several antibiotics are showing up in a broad range of foods on grocery store shelves, new studies show. It’s a recipe for rising illness and deaths from food poisoning, ...
Can a bacterial virus found in Jerusalem sewage prevent infections after root canal procedures? Medical researchers propose a way to turn the tables on harmful bacteria that infect humans, by ...
Modern hospitals and antibiotic treatment alone did not create all the antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria we see today. Instead, selection pressures from before widespread use of antibiotics ...
A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...
Sali Morris receives funding from the GW4 BioMed MRC DTP. The funding is for basic research into the regulatory networks that control antibiotic resistance in Enterococcus faecalis. James S. Horton ...
