The rise of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens has spurred scientists to search far and wide for new drugs. And while many antimicrobial molecules have been discovered in recent years, it’s rare to ...

Bacteria can easily evolve, and can quickly gain resistance to drugs. Drug-resistant bacterial infections already cause the deaths of millions of people every year, and that number is expected to rise ...

Lariocidin hits drug-resistant bacteria where others fail — by hijacking the ribosome at a new site, bypassing defences, and opening the door to a new generation of antibiotics. Lariocidin, a ...

Researchers believe they have identified a new class of antibiotics, nearly three decades since the last new one came to market. Teams at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada and the University of ...

A team of researchers from McMaster University has identified a new molecule – lariocidin – that can challenge some of the most drug-resistant bacteria on Earth. The discovery responds to a critical ...

Researchers say they have discovered a new class of antibiotics that could treat drug-resistant bacteria, the first to reach the market in nearly three decades. The new molecule, called lariocidin, ...

The last time a new class of antibiotics reached the market was nearly three decades ago — but that could soon change, thanks to a discovery by researchers at McMaster University. A team led by ...

Beneath a patch of soil in Hamilton, Ontario, scientists may have found a long-awaited answer to one of medicine’s most pressing problems. They found a new molecule named lariocidin—a potential new ...

Researchers have identified a new molecule with antibiotic activity against a range of disease-causing bacteria, including those resistant to existing drugs. The new molecule — isolated from soil ...

In a recent study in Nature, researchers identified and characterized a broad-spectrum antibiotic, lariocidin (LAR). The antibiotic inhibits bacterial growth by altering protein synthesis in ribosomes ...

The last time a new class of antibiotics reached the market was nearly three decades ago—but that could soon change, thanks to a discovery by researchers at McMaster University. The discovery of the ...
