Scientists in Costa Rica have discovered that the dense fur of two-fingered and three-fingered sloths hosts a diverse ecosystem of microbes that produce potent antibiotic compounds. These findings suggest that…
Scientists on an Arctic expedition have discovered a novel antibiotic compound produced by deep-sea actinobacteria. This molecule effectively inhibits the virulence of Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli without damaging human…
Scientists have discovered a new antibiotic candidate called Cyphomycin within the microbiome of fungus-growing ants in the Amazon rainforest. The compound is produced by symbiotic bacteria to protect the ants'…
Researchers in Kenya have discovered a naturally occurring strain of Serratia bacteria that prevents mosquitoes from carrying the malaria parasite. This microbe is transmitted through mating and from mother to…
Scientists have identified a new antibiotic called Clovibactin, isolated from previously unculturable soil bacteria using innovative iCHIP technology. This compound employs a unique mechanism to destroy drug-resistant pathogens by binding…
Scientists have developed a gallium-doped bioactive glass that kills 99% of antibiotic-resistant bacteria while promoting bone regeneration. This material offers a dual-action solution for treating chronic bone infections like osteomyelitis…
