In a world first, researchers are harnessing data science to describe and predict when resistance to antibiotics will emerge during treatment for a bacterial infection.
Antibiotics have been around for less than a century. But as resistant bacteria become increasingly difficult to treat, we risk a greater number of deaths from infections.
From New York to Tokyo, Melbourne to Venice – honeybee hives have revealed the unique genetic signatures of cities, even providing insights into human health.
Could a combination of phage therapy and antibiotics be the key to unlocking the antimicrobial-resistant superbug crisis?
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria causes 700,000 deaths annually, but there are strategies we can use to slow the rapid rise of these superbugs.
Malaysia’s shrimp industry is big business, but unapproved antibiotic use has led to export bans and negative perceptions of the country's aquaculture industry. Can bioprospecting turn things around?
Professor Dena Lyras’ continuing mission lies in trying to understand the formidable enemy of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly those in the human gut.
You can have this STI without knowing it, or have symptoms. It can affect men and women, and it can be treated with antibiotics. Left untreated, it may cause complications.
Since COVID-19's emergence, soaps and sanitisers are ubiquitous, but researchers are warning that the antibacterial additives they contain are dangerous to our health.
Using phage therapy to resensitise a type of bacteria to antibiotics, researchers have found a way to revert antibiotic resistance.
Doctors rely on independent guidelines when prescribing medication – and Mary Hemming AO is a key figure behind these.
Before COVID-19 began causing sickness, pain and death, a much bigger health threat has been evolving, and desperately needs to be stopped.
A bacteria that thrives in compost and manure is being groomed to take the fight to superbugs.

Associate Professor John Boyce is part of an international team about to begin a new five-year investigation into the superbug, its antibiotic-resistance mechanisms, and also novel (new) treatments for infection.
Never heard of bacteriophages? They're the most abundant biological entity on the planet, and play a vital role in keeping us alive.
Design and medicine have joined forces to tackle a vital hygiene issue that plays a part in tens of thousands of deaths each year.
Despite dire warnings of a looming antibiotic resistance crisis, the issue has failed to capture the public imagination.
