Anti-staphylococcal antibiotics target multiple pathways that are essential for bacterial survival including bacterial cell-wall synthesis (i.e. β-lactams, glycopeptides), folic acid metabolism ...

Because there may be multiple such foci, drainage is not possible. Antibiotics may not penetrate well into these areas and may not work well in the local environment of the abscess where the pH may be ...

We found a rapid and strong effect of oxacillin and the glycopeptide antibiotics vancomycin and telavacin on cell division. The cell division protein FtsZ served as a marker here and we monitored it." ...

“New antibiotics should ideally exhibit activity against drug-resistant bacteria, delay the development of bacterial resistance to them, and be suitable for local delivery at desired sites of ...

Amid a surge in drug-resistant bacteria, researchers believe they have discovered a new class of antibiotics, three decades since the last one came to market.

Each year, 700,000 people die due to antibiotic resistance. A growing global population unfortunately generates a growing resistance to established antibiotic treatments - a threat that has been ...
