Scientists work out the specific genes and biochemical steps required for digesting the very drugs designed to kill microbes.

Drug-free environments, such as a designated ward in a hospital, might reduce the strength of selection for resistance.

The antimicrobial drug neomycin protects mice from some viral infections, complicating the picture of the relationship between antibiotics and susceptibility to viruses.

The drugs’ disruption of the microbiome makes a subsequent flavivirus infection more severe.

A study finds substantial growth in use of the drugs this century, linked to gains in wealth in low- and middle-income countries.

A new study finds that more than 200 human-targeted, non-antibiotic drugs inhibit the growth of bacterial species that make up part of the human microbiome.

Transmission of stress signals in E. coli is dependent on the distance between its inner and outer membranes.

Wildebeest, science advice for Trump, antibiotics, and more

The mini machines treated infection somewhat better than antibiotics plus the typical proton pump inhibitor medication. 

There is little evidence that full treatment durations discourage the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
