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.
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.
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.
Before COVID-19 began causing sickness, pain and death, a much bigger health threat has been evolving, and desperately needs to be stopped.
Bees are the most important pollinator of food crops, and the honey they produce is the only insect-derived natural product with industrial, nutritional and therapeutic values.
A surprising number of people are catching pneumonia or urinary tract infections in hospital, a new Australian study shows for the first time.
