More in PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA

• Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and Tata Institute for Genetics and Society to conduct joint research against antibiotic resistance

  The collaboration between Amrita and TIGS will focus on developing new tools to reverse antibiotic resistance in pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa which have been declared as ‘critical priority’ by WHO

  

• Hospital germs have their flaws too : Study

  HZI researchers investigated the formation of signalling substances in Pseudomonas and discovered a target for novel medications

  

• Detection of bacterial biofilms using covalent lectin binders

  HIPS researchers produced a molecule that provides a way to visualize pseudomonas infections.

  

• Even bacteria have baggage - and understanding that is key to fighting superbugs

  In an era where there are few antibiotics in the R & D pipeline and bacteria are developing resistance to the drugs now available, exploiting bacteria's past may be a major breakthrough for the future.

  

• Molecular "Trojan Horse" render infections visible

  HZI researchers develop new agents for the localisation and treatment of multi-resistant bacteria

  

• Bacterial molecule trains the immune system to tolerate infection without inducing illness

  A study from Massachusetts General Hospital investigators has identified a mechanism leading to tolerance of a common, difficult-to-treat bacteria by means of small molecule usually used by the pathogen to monitor its presence in the environment.
