Testing children with acute sinusitis symptoms for specific bacteria may dramatically decrease unnecessary antibiotic use, new research suggests. If antibiotic use was limited to children with H ...

Researchers have found that the ancient RND-type multidrug efflux pump AcrB from Haemophilus influenzae targets the same drugs as its more evolved counterpart from Escherichia coli, showing that ...

A vaccine that tackles the bacteria that cause up to 200 million childhood infections every year could be possible, experts say. Published today (31 October) in Nature Microbiology, they uncovered ...

Under the looming threat of antibiotic resistance, scientists are working to develop the next generation of bacteria-destroying drugs. This month in Genome Research, researchers from Hoffman-La Roche ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – It can be almost painful to watch individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) breathe. When they’re not coughing, they’re fighting for every breath. Approximately 24 ...
