A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

The molecule was found in soil samples collected from a laboratory technician’s garden. The discovery shows that “there is ...

That process led to the group discovering a lasso peptide that exhibited broad-spectrum antibiotic activity and was effective ...

By Dr. Sanchari Sinha Dutta, Ph.D. Lariocidin hits drug-resistant bacteria where others fail — by hijacking the ribosome at a ...

The last time a new class of antibiotics reached the market was nearly three decades ago—but that could soon change, thanks ...

A small molecule shaped like a lasso may be a powerful tool in the fight against infectious diseases, according to a new ...

Amid a surge in drug-resistant bacteria, researchers believe they have discovered a new class of antibiotics for the first ...

Lariocidin, a peptide made by bacteria living in soil, was effective against several different microbes responsible for deadly infections. UIC researchers working with collaborators at McMaster ...

In a new paper, researchers describe the creation of synthetic peptides, a class of antibiotics, derived from the secretions ...

In seeking new antibiotic sources, researchers have turned to an unlikely source: a whiffy frog known as Odorrana andersonii.

Researchers created safe synthetic antibiotics from frog molecules. These may help fight superbugs in the future.
