Antibiotic resistance

Genomic profiles of the human gut microbiome reveal the hidden impacts of asymptomatic, antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, as well as potential solutions for their reversal.

When combined with low doses of antibiotics, this biodegradable polymer can reduce or even reverse antimicrobial resistance.

Keystone bacterial species help to restore gut microbial diversity after treatment with antibiotics, paving the way for improved prebiotic and probiotic formulations.

An extensive survey of pathogens in hospital environments finds distinct microbial communities enriched for multidrug resistance.

A*STAR scientists have devised an algorithm for accurately assembling genomes, paving the way for in-depth analysis of microbial communities in the human gut.

Tiny zinc oxide-based spikes that mimic natural antibacterial coatings puncture and damage microbial cell walls via oxidation

Arrays of tiny, rigid, and sharp pillars mimic natural antimicrobial surfaces by binding and breaking bacterial cells open.
