Using a type of artificial intelligence known as deep learning, MIT researchers have discovered a class of compounds that can kill a drug-resistant bacterium that causes more than 10,000 deaths in the ...

Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. The ...

This approach could help us design better new antibiotics, but it could also help revive existing antibiotic classes that bacteria have learned to defeat." Professor J. Mark Sutton, from the UK Health ...

About a decade ago, researchers in UC Santa Barbara chemistry professor Guillermo Bazan’s lab began to observe a recurring challenge in their research: Some of the compounds they were developing to ...

Researchers believe they have identified a new class of antibiotics, nearly three decades since the last new one came to market. Teams at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada and the University of ...

Integrated Biosciences has discovered a new class of antibiotics using AI-powered drug discovery software. The new antibiotics can be effective against MRSA and other germs that have gained resistance ...

An investigational three-drug regimen that could cut tuberculosis (TB) treatment from six months to four is now in a phase 3 clinical trial, arriving as the World Health Organization (WHO) reports an ...

A new experimental antibiotic has stunned researchers by wiping out dangerous bacteria at concentrations roughly two orders of magnitude lower than some of the drugs doctors rely on today. Early lab ...

Scientists in Switzerland have announced the discovery of a new class of antibiotics shown to be effective against deadly, drug-resistant bacteria. The antibiotic, called zosurabalpin, works by ...

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a new antibiotic that kills some of the world's most dangerous and drug-resistant bacteria - and does so by targeting a previously unknown ...
