Already more than one million people have died … Read more
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee researchers have discovered a molecule that may battle against drug-resistant infections. IIT Roorkee researchers have discovered a new molecule, IITR08367, with the potential to fight pathogens like Acinetobacter baumannii which is highly antibiotic-resistant. As per a press release issued by the IIT Roorkee, the molecule has been named IITR08367, … Read more
Researchers have uncovered a completely new class of antibiotics that demonstrates efficacy against one of the three bacteria deemed to be among the most perilous to human health due to their extensive drug resistance. Developed by a team of researchers at the forefront of antimicrobial innovation, this new antibiotic holds the promise of reshaping the … Read more
Scientists have developed a new class of antibiotics that could kill an anti-biotic-resistant (AMR) bacteria classified as a major threat by the World Health Organisation. The drug Zosurabalpin is found to be effective against CRAB (carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii)-induced pneumonia and sepsis in mouse models. Crab has been classified as a priority 1 critical pathogen by … Read more
