What Are Superbugs? The Bacteria Behind India's Antibiotic Resistance Crisis, Explained
India is the epicentre of a full-blown superbug crisis fuelled by antibiotic resistant bacteria, according to a recent study by The Lancet.

5 Breakthroughs In Antibiotics That Could Change The Pneumonia Fight
Millions of lives have been saved with antibiotics, but the treatment for pneumonia is becoming more dangerous as the bacteria are becoming more resistant to antibiotics.
-
Scientists Find Powerful New Antibiotic Hidden In Plain Sight For Decades
Scientists from Warwick and Monash Universities have discovered a new antibiotic compound, pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hidden for decades in known bacteria, offering fresh hope against rising antibiotic resistance.
-
Indian Researchers Develop Natural Weapon To Fight Antibiotic Resistance
The study, published in the journal 'Surfaces and Interphases', explores sustainable ways to counter the growing problem of "superbugs"- a bacteria that has developed resistance due to the excessive use of traditional antibiotics.
-
Century-Old Virus Therapy May Help Tackle Growing Antibiotic Resistance Crisis
As antibiotic resistance rises, researchers are revisiting phage therapy - a 100-year-old treatment using viruses to fight bacteria - showing promising results in overcoming drug-resistant infections.
-
Antibiotic Resistance On The Rise In US As 'Nightmare Bacteria' Cases Spike 69%
The increase is largely driven by bacteria carrying the NDM (New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase) gene, which neutralises multiple antibiotics.

MIT Scientists Develop Superbug-Killing Antibiotics Using Generative AI
Both new antibiotics were able to kill strains of bacteria that are becoming increasingly difficult to treat with existing antibiotics.

WHO Report On Increasing Antibiotic Resistance In Bacteria Paints A Grim Picture
It said that more than 60 per cent of Neisseria gonorrhoea isolates, a common sexually transmitted disease, have shown resistance to the common oral antibacterial ciprofloxacin.
-
Bacteria With Natural Antibiotic, Antimicrobial Resistance Discovered in Antarctica
Researchers from University of Chile found that the Pseudomonas bacteria, one of the predominant bacteria groups in the Antarctic Peninsula, can be a source of 'resistance genes'. These bacteria are said to carry natural antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance and have the potential to spread out of the polar regions.

Antibiotics Misuse Helping Bacteria Develop Resistance: Health Agency
Overuse of antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs during the coronavirus pandemic is helping bacteria develop resistance that will render these important medicines ineffective over time, Pan American Health Organization warned.
-
Scientists Develop Faster Way Of Detecting Antibiotic Resistance In Bacteria
According to the researchers, including those from the University of Sheffield in the UK, the standard method for detecting antibiotic resistance in bacterial samples is a relatively slow process that typically takes between 12 and 24 hours.

Powerful New Antibiotic Capable of Killing Drug-Resistant Bacteria Developed Using AI: Researchers
In a first, US researchers have used artificial intelligence to identify a powerful new antibiotic capable of killing several drug-resistant bacteria.

Vegetables May Carry Infection-Causing Bacteria That Can Harm Human Gut: Study
It has been proved that not just animal meat but plant-based foods can also be the source of such infections.
-
This Bacteria In Soil Can Combat Antibiotic Resistant Superbugs: Study
The soil the researchers analysed originated from an area of Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, which is known as the Boho Highlands.

World Antibiotic Awareness Week: All You Need To Know About Antibiotic Resistance And Its Health Hazards
World Antibiotic Awareness Week is aimed at spreading awareness about the importance of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to use of these medicines.
