A recent review finds that microalgal niches in freshwater ecosystems may concentrate antibiotic resistance genes, raising environmental and public health concerns.

Tackling antibiotic resistance likely requires a multifaceted approach. Better and faster point-of-care testing, new treatments, and antimicrobial stewardship could hold promise for future control.

Talk about a culture shock. Microplastics, like the ones pictured here, have been linked to several health concerns. Researchers from Boston University identified another downside to microplastics — ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte As antimicrobial resistance threatens millions of lives annually by mid-century, researchers map the expanding pipeline of novel drugs, biological therapies, and technology-driven ...

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the deadly drug-resistant bacteria NDM-CRE found a 70% rise in infections in the U.S. between 2019 and 2023. Also known as ...

A new Rutgers Health study reveals a surprising twist in the antibiotic resistance story: instead of simply killing bacteria, drugs like ciprofloxacin can actually trigger a kind of microbial survival ...

A new World Health Organization study finds 1 in 6 infections worldwide are resistant to some antibiotics, highlighting a growing threat from drug-resistant bacteria. The World Health Organization ...

For bacteria, microplastics are the perfect meetup spot—tiny, intimate surfaces where microbes can cling, huddle close and swap genes. And these crowded bacterial breeding grounds may pose a threat to ...
