What factors influence how antibiotics are accessed and used in less well-off countries
It is often assumed that people use antibiotics inappropriately because they don’t understand enough about the spread of drug resistant […]
Antibiotics can leave the lung vulnerable to flu viruses, leading to significantly worse infections and symptoms, finds a new study […] The gut microbiome is a complex, interconnected ecosystem of species. And, like any ecosystem, some organisms are predators and some […] A universal flu vaccine that could prevent a potential influenza pandemic has been a holy grail for epidemiologists around the […] New research in The Journal of Physiology has found, using a mouse model, that microbes in the maternal intestine may […] Some aged cheeses cause allergy-like reactions in many people, but an Iowa State University scientist is working to identify bacteria […] A common bacterial pathogen called Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a virus that substantially increases the pathogen’s ability to infect us, according […] A study performed at the University of São Paulo’s Biomedical Science Institute (ICB-USP) in Brazil shows that sofosbuvir, a drug […] Princeton molecular biologist Bonnie Bassler and graduate student Justin Silpe have identified a virus, VP882, that can listen in on […] The gut microbiome — the world of microbes that inhabit the human intestinal tract — has captured the interest of […]Microbes and More
