Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacteria that commonly causes UTIs. When an infection occurs, doctors prescribe antibiotics to help treat it. E. coli is a type of bacteria that lives in the gut ...

Purdue University researchers in the College of Agriculture are developing patent-pending, antibiotic-free treatments for avian pathogenic E. coli, or APEC. Paul Ebner and his team have developed a ...

The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for certain antibiotic-resistant infections, such as urinary tract infections.

A University of Alberta research team has identified a new drug target to treat harmful E. coli bacteria—which cause nearly 250,000 deaths a year from urinary tract infections (UTI) and are becoming ...

A new drug cocktail successfully targeted and treated urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by Escherichia coli, according to results from the first stage of a phase 2 trial. The results set the ...

Scientists have taken an important step toward the development of a potential new treatment for treating Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), the notorious bug associated with severe food poisoning.

A newly discovered mechanism renders antibiotic-resistant bacteria vulnerable by disabling both their individual resistance ...

Can CRISPR—a gene editing mechanism born from a bacterium’s antiviral system—be used as an antibiotic? That’s what SNIPR Biome wants to know, and new interim data from an early phase 1 study seem to ...

When E. coli detects damage to its genetic material, it sends out an SOS signal that alters activity inside the cells. "The bacteria go into full emergency mode," says PhD candidate Olaug Elisabeth ...

For the first time, researchers have analysed the impact of antibiotic use on the rise of treatment-resistant bacteria over the last 20 years in the UK and Norway. They show that while the increase in ...
