Boston: Scientists have created a new antimicrobial compound that disables the superbugs’ mechanism that renders antibiotic drugs ineffective. Researchers from Harvard University have found that a new compound called chrysomycin is capable of killing multiple variants of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, it has yet to be determined how safe this compound or similar drugs are for…
Barcelona: A new research I 19 gold-based compounds have been identified that can successfully treat drug-resistant superbugs. According to research presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases to be held next week in Copenhagen, Denmark, several gold-based compounds have been shown to be effective against tough bacteria. In a paper written…
The study focuses on the environmental dimensions of AMR, which occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines. It calls for strengthening action to reduce the emergence, transmission and spread of “superbugs” – strains of bacteria that have become resistant to every known biotic – and other…
