Scientists conceal antibiotics within red blood cells for targeted treatment -- a finding that could help tackle drug-resistant bacteria with fewer side effects.

The study comes at a time when antibiotic resistance is a growing health crisis, indicating the need for strong monitoring systems.

If successful, the treatment can prevent more deaths annually than those caused by AIDS or malaria.

The viruses, called “bacteriophages,” may be a promising treatment option to kill superbugs more effectively.

Scientists found 21 types of microplastics, of which polyester and nylon were common sources.

"Bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics don't have boundaries. They can spread to any person in any country."

The researchers call the environmental hazard an “imminent risk” to human health.

With vaccine schedules delayed due to the Covid19 pandemic, experts predict a major resurgence of the disease.

The world stands in dire need of new antibiotics, as antimicrobial-resistant infections are on the rise amid the pandemic.

Research shows that for most common infections, long exposure to antibiotics just creates more opportunity for bacteria to become resistant.

The drug, halicin, was originally developed as a diabetes medication, but may be more effective as an antibiotic.

Unnecessary reliance on antibiotics, however slight, can make children unresponsive to future treatment.

The change in form allows bacteria to become invisible to the immune system -- and resistant to antibiotics.

One of the only medicines that still works against multi-drug resistant superbugs is on the verge of becoming ineffective.
