New research reveals that nutrient starvation hinders antibiotic effectiveness, challenging previous theories and potentially leading to better treatments.
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have developed computer models to create more targeted antibiotics. This approach aims to fight antibiotic resistance by focusing on specific bacteria in different parts of the body, reducing the reliance on broad-spectrum antibiotics.
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honours AI's transformative impact on protein science, with breakthroughs set to reshape drug development.
Using clinical E. coli bacteraemia isolates, researchers found that high-persister mutants evolved which contributed to antibiotic failure.
US scientists have developed antibiotics that can “shape-shift”, which prevent bacteria from coming resistant against them.
In this article, Drug Target Review’s Izzy Wood and Ria Kakkad share some of the most ground-breaking moments from drug discovery this year.
In this article, Drug Target Review’s Hannah Balfour discusses three of the latest developments in imaging for disease research and drug development.
A single change to the structure of bacterial ribosomes prevents macrolide antibiotics from binding and killing the bacteria, according to a study.

Altering the mastoparan-L (mast-L) peptide found in Vespula lewisii wasp venom, researchers created several novel antimicrobial molecules.
Researchers have engineered F12, a lysin-based antibacterial drug, to have limited negative side-effects and so it can be administered repeatedly without loss of efficacy.
Scientists suggest competence-blocking, ‘anti-evolution’ drugs could be administered alongside antibiotics to prolong the period before bacterial resistance emerges.
Researchers have developed a novel metal-based fragment library of molecules that can be used to screen for new drug candidates.
Researchers have identified the mechanism by which thanatin attacks the way the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is built...
Researchers have developed a new CHAOS method to combat antibiotic resistance, using CRISPR DNA modification techniques...
Researchers have shown that it is possible to identify genetic catalysts that accelerate the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria...
