Vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) radiating from its ancestor show the development of mutants that may someday pose a threat in the clinic. Staphylococcus aureus has the potential to ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a rapid and cost-efficient sequencing method that can identify antibiotic ...

When a bacterium becomes resistant to one antibiotic, it may sometimes become more sensitive to another. This biological side ...

He reassured the patient that a standard course of antibiotics would do the trick. But Gerry Wright was not a run-of-the-mill patient. At the time, he was director of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute ...
