Researchers Find Concerning Antibiotic Resistance Genes In Newborns Just Hours After Birth
The researchers presented data from 105 newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit within the first 72 hours of life.

Antibiotic Resistance Tied To Soil Dryness, New Study Shows
Soil dryness from drought can increase the amount of natural antibiotics and promote the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to an analysis.

India's Drains Breeding Superbugs? Study Warns Of Hidden Health Risks
A new study finds India's urban sewage systems are acting as "genetic playgrounds" for antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Viruses On Plastics May Fuel Antibiotic Resistance, Warn Researchers
Plastics entering natural environments quickly become coated with microbial biofilms called the 'plastisphere', known to be hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes, the team, including researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

India At The Epicentre Of Superbug Explosion, Antibiotic Resistance Crisis: Lancet Study
A new, large-scale international study published in the prestigious Lancet eClinical Medicine journal says that 83% of Indian patients carry multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs).

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.

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.

City Air Found to Have Traces of Resistant Bacteria
The air you breathe may contain DNA from genes that make bacteria resistant to the most powerful antibiotics developed yet, a study has found.

Gene In 'Last Resort' Antibiotics Resistance Found In Denmark
A gene that makes bacteria resistant to last-resort antibiotics has been found in Denmark, a new study has shown, after first being identified by researchers in China.

How China Can Prevent a True Antibiotic Apocalypse
Last week scientists announced they'd discovered a gene spreading among bacteria in China that renders them resistant to some of the world's most powerful, "last resort" antibiotics.

Alarming New 'Superbug' Gene Found in Animals, People in China
A new gene that makes bacteria highly resistant to a last-resort class of antibiotics has been found in people and pigs in China - including in samples of bacteria with epidemic potential, researchers said on Wednesday.

Antibiotic-Resistant Genes Discovered in 11th Century Mummy
Researchers have discovered genes linked to antibiotic resistance in an 11th-century mummy found in the Andes Mountains.

New Gene-Editing Method to Kill Superbugs
MIT engineers have developed a new gene-editing system that can selectively kill bacteria carrying harmful genes that confer antibiotic resistance or cause disease.

Do Cow Fertilizers Spread Antibiotic Resistance?
Manure from dairy cows contains a surprisingly high number of antibiotic resistance genes from the animals' gut bacteria, a new study shows.This is important because manure from cows is widely used as a farm soil fertilizer, and antibiotic resistance...
