A systematic review of 27 studies maps how Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria use enzymes, thiols, metal homeostasis, and biofilm matrices to survive oxidative stress.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a novel compound that effectively clears bacterial infections in mice, including those that can result in rare but ...

Experts have sounded the alarm after finding multidrug-resistant bacteria, including those resistant to medicines for serious infections, in the air at a Johannesburg clinic, calling for mandatory ...
