Due to their unique mechanism of action, AMPs are increasingly seen as promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics, especially as antibiotic resistance continues to emerge and spread globally. ...
Ace Therapeutics is a preclinical contract research provider engaged in metabolic disorders, infectious diseases and parasites, neurological disorders, ophthalmic diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and immune system diseases. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria posing a significant threat to global public health, Ace Therapeutics announces its new ...
The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has driven renewed interest in alternative treatments, including phage therapy. A recent study by Yang, F., et al (2024) explores the potential of bacteriophage therapy for treating multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections using humanized mouse models. ...

“Even with our recent emphasis on antibiotic stewardship, Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDRO) or so-called ‘Superbugs’ are presenting new challenges to our healthcare system due to what amounts to microscopic selective breeding. One such example is Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter (MDR-A).” Mr. Denis goes on to say, ...
Antibacterial Serum Preparation Bacterial infections remain a significant concern globally, and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains has heightened this challenge. CD Formulation addresses this urgent issue with its antibacterial serum preparation services. ...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns these bacteria are constantly finding new ways to avoid the effects of the antibiotics used to treat those infections. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) is the name for the bacteria resistant to the antibiotic known as vancomycin. When the CDC released the 2019 ...
Their newest production discusses vancomycin-resistant enterococci, commonly referred to as VRE, which are bacteria that can cause various healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). “In the CDC’s 2019 Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States report, VRE was listed as a serious threat,” said Paul Cochrane, President of ...
Plasmids are important carriers for the rapid adaptation of microbial populations to environmental changes, and plasmid-mediated gene transfer is critical for the spread of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs). Plasmids are transmissible between host cells, leading to the rapid dissemination of their accessory genes through bacterial communities. The Food Safety ...
Dr Michael Craig, (Director of Antimicrobial Resistance) at the US CDC stated: “Decolonization is something that is very important to us at CDC and something that we think really holds a lot of potential in terms of saving lives and importantly addressing the challenges of antimicrobial resistance that we face, not only in the United States but around ...
This preventative approach will allow Lumen to develop an inexpensive, biologic drug cocktail against the most frequent, multi-drug resistant infecting pathogens. The therapeutic product would be administered and be designed to mitigate risks of antibiotic-resistant infections in resource constrained settings such as battlefield medicine and ...
First, to raise specific immunity against one of the most important antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans populations at hjgh-risk of development of antibiotic-resistant infections. ...
(LON: OBI), this week presented an in vitro study at the World Anti-Microbial Resistance Congress, in Maryland, USA on the effectiveness of its photodisinfection technology against the group of highly infectious and antibiotic-resistant bacteria known as ESKAPE ...
Several years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced it was establishing the Antibiotic Resistance Laboratory Network (AR Lab Network) in Puerto Rico and all 50 states. It was designed to help detect new forms of drug resistance as novel fungal threats emerge. Specifically mentioned in the announcement was Candida ...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established the Antibiotic Resistance Laboratory Network (AR Lab Network) in all 50 states back in 2016. ...

Owing to the increasing concerns about the abuse of antibiotics and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, academia and pharmaceutical companies as well as many biochemical suppliers like BOC Sciences have invested much energy in AMP development. ...
Clinicians therefore utilize presumptive treatment, or prescribing treatment for a suspected infection without the benefit of diagnostic results, which can lead to incorrect treatment, under-treatment, or over-treatment which contributes to societal antibiotic resistance. “Sexually transmitted infections are three things: often asymptomatic, can be harmful ...
SER-155 is a cultivated investigational microbiome therapeutic rationally designed to improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing HSCT by restoring colonization resistance to pathobionts, promoting epithelial barrier integrity, and reducing colonic inflammation. ...
