New research has revealed that greater openness about complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) use in dairy farming can strengthen farmer-vet relationships, prevent potential unintended harm to animals, reduce antibiotic use and also enhance herd health management.

In a new study, researchers have revealed that the number of avoidable deaths are going down in most high-income countries around the world except the USA where the number is on the rise.

A new research shows that resistant bacteria can regain susceptibility to antibiotics when the treatment is combined with a material equipped with antibacterial peptides. It also reveals that antibiotics can achieve a 64-fold increase in bactericidal effect when used together with the material, whose antibacterial properties are also greatly enhanced by this combination.

Researchers have developed nanostructured alumina surfaces that resist bacterial growth while supporting cell cultures. This development could transform regenerative medicine by enabling antibiotic-free, high-quality cell cultures, reducing contamination risks, and advancing medical treatments.

With the help of a study, researchers have revealed that resistant bacteria can regain susceptibility to antibiotics when the treatment is combined with a material equipped with antibacterial peptides. They further state that antibiotics can achieve a 64-fold increase in bactericidal effect when used together with the material, whose antibacterial properties are also greatly enhanced by this combination.

Scientists have developed a realistic ‘micro-gut’ model that can help them to study the relationship between gut microbes and human diseases. The 3D scalable ‘gut-on-a-chip’ model enables real-time visualisation of the interactions of gut microbes and the human intestine.

Penn State researchers warn that household dogs may transmit antibiotic-resistant Salmonella to humans, posing a public health risk. Close pet interactions and improper hygiene can increase infection chances, but awareness and simple practices, like handwashing, can help protect both humans and their furry companions.

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton have uncovered how bacteria in polymer-rich environments like mucus form entangled cable-like structures, offering new insights into infections, biofilms, and industrial challenges. This study reveals surprising parallels between biological and non-living gels, paving the way for future research and innovative solutions.

Researchers have developed an AI system to interpret the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test, which helps identify which antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections. While still requiring refinement, the AI system shows promise in supporting doctors by speeding up the identification of resistance to life-saving antibiotics.

Antibiotic-resistant infections are on the rise, projected to claim nearly 2 million lives annually by 2050. In a breakthrough study, researchers at UC San Diego have uncovered a vulnerability in resistant bacteria: a physiological cost tied to their ribosomes' magnesium dependency.
