A new study published in the journal BMJ in February 2020 reports that macrolide or penicillin antibiotic consumption in pregnancy could be linked to several adverse health outcomes in children. These ...

Harvard researchers have created a new, greatly simplified, platform for antibiotic discovery that may go a long way to solving the crisis of antibiotic resistance. In a study just published in the ...

An erythromycin-producing E. coli recombinant strain with an antibiotic-overproducing mutation in the mycarose biosynthesis pathway produced second-generation mutants capable of directed biosynthesis ...

Mass distribution of azithromycin to preschool children twice yearly for 2 years has been shown to reduce childhood mortality in sub-Saharan Africa but at the cost of amplifying macrolide resistance.

“It’s a tour de force in synthetic chemistry,” Kim Lewis of Northeastern University in Boston, who was not involved in the study, told The Scientist. “This is the first time there is a relatively easy ...

LONDON, ON — In a retrospective study of >600,000 seniors, those who received a new prescription of a macrolide antibiotic (azithromycin, clarithromycin, or erythromycin) did not have a greater ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have engineered designer biosensors that can detect antibiotic molecules of interest. The biosensors are a first step toward creating ...

As more and more pathogenic bacteria gain resistance to commonly used antibiotics, the search for new, effective, and safe antibiotics has become vital. According to The Lancet, almost 5 million ...
