A groundbreaking antibiotic discovery might finally tip the balance in the global fight against drug-resistant bacteria.

All that said, when it comes to antibiotic resistance, gram-negative bacteria have an edge thanks to their double membranes. The outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria physically blocks some ...

Antibiotics are overused by some and out of reach for others - fuelling resistance and leaving deadly gaps in care.

The searches combined terms for Gram-negative bacteria, appropriate or inappropriate ... Patients had to have been given empiric antibiotic therapy prior to the identification of culture results.

These bacteria lacked typical antibiotic resistance genes and hadn't made spontaneous copies of genes that were protective as the gram-negative bacteria had. Instead, heteroresistance correlated ...

Infection control standards need to be followed closely to prevent the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant infections. Gram-negative bacteria have a hard, protective outer shell.

Gram-positive bacteria show blue or purple after Gram-staining in a laboratory test. They have thick cell walls. Gram-negative bacteria show pink or red on staining and have thin walls. They ...
