Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of antibiotics, a type of drug - such as penicillin or ciprofloxacin - that kills or stops the growth of bacteria. When bacteria ...

AIST researchers, in collaboration with JAMSTEC, Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, have succeeded in cultivating an ...

The researchers even saw the same result with bacteria in synthetic polymers. Although the initial motivation for the study was to better understand the growth of infections in patients with ...

Conventional methods of analysing bacterial growth suggest that a small subset of hyper-resilient bacteria is the main cause of this poor efficacy. However, direct monitoring of antibiotic action ...
