But if nonantibiotics kill bacteria in similar ways to known antibiotics, their prolonged use ... and I developed a new machine learning method that not only identified how nonantibiotics kill ...

Antibiotics are used in medicine and agriculture ... by binding to the 30S ribosome subunit but have a different method of action to aminoglycosides. Instead of preventing proof-reading of the ...

Researchers have now discovered a new class of antibiotics with a unique spectrum of activity and mechanism of action - a major step in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. By disrupting ...

The method provides ... to be able to copy their DNA,” says Professor Marit Otterlei. The peptide prevents DNA copying, and thus, the bacterium dies. “No other antibiotics attack this protein.

Bacteria in biofilms are 1,000 times more resistant to antibiotics, disinfectants, mechanical treatment, and other types of stress. A chemist from RUDN University suggested a method to prevent the ...

say the new antibiotic, zosurabalpin, can effectively kill Acinetobacter baumannii. Zosurabalpin is in its own chemical class and has a unique method of action, says Dr. Kenneth Bradley ...

The development and spread of antibiotic resistance represents one of the greatest threats to global health. To overcome these resistances, drugs with novel modes of action are urgently needed.

The UC San Diego biologists say their new method is not only game changing, but promises to revolutionize how drug discovery teams guide their studies. With previous methods, understanding how an ...
