Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Research Center Borstel, Leibniz Lung Center have developed a promising new substance for targeting bacteria that cause tuberculosis. The team have produced a compound that inhibits the pathogens’ ability to produce energy and causes them to die. Established drugs work in a similar fashion, but the pathogen is becoming increasingly resistant to these medications. The study was conducted joi

Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine. A new study now shows that the pathogen Haemophilus influenzae can develop a previously unknown and genetically highly unstable resistance mechanism. This so-called unstable heteroresistance is often not detected by standard resistance tests, which can in the worst case lead to treatment failures. The underlying cause is genomic alterations in the ompP2 gene, which can revert back to their origin
