A new study provides important insights into the spread of antibiotic resistance (ABR) in different river systems. The study, ...

The antibiotic teixobactin—developed a decade ago by Northeastern University professors Kim Lewis and Slava Epstein in ...

Some notoriously difficult to treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to new research using a microfluidic device that more closely duplicates the fluid ...

Microplastics, like the ones pictured here, have been linked to several health concerns. Researchers from Boston University ...

Researchers were shocked to see that bacteria's antimicrobial resistance is strengthened when exposed to plastic particles and point to a potential outsized impact on refugees.

Increased antibiotic use can lead, seemingly paradoxically, to more problematic infections, as the bacteria evolve to resist ...

“The reduction may reflect changes in antimicrobial use policies, including restrictions on tetracyclines and penicillins in food-producing animals. Also, vaccine protection against Salmonella species ...

The microscopic shards of plastic found in every corner of the planet may be exacerbating antibiotic resistance, a new study has found.

Increased antibiotic use can lead, seemingly paradoxically, to more problematic infections, as the bacteria evolve to resist ...

A new study shows that microplastics facilitate antimicrobial resistance, even without the presence of antibiotics.

Litter near the Charles River. For 10 to 15 days, Nelia Gross, a PhD candidate studying materials science and engineering, and other researchers incubated several types of microplastics with E. coli, ...
