In a recent review published in the Microorganisms Journal, researchers reviewed existing data on the use of probiotics and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) against multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, ...

C. difficile infection recurrence rates were numerically lower with vancomycin than with placebo, though the difference was not significant. However, the results could be clinically meaningful, an ...

V-161, a novel compound targeting the Na+ -V-ATPase enzyme in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), significantly reduces bacterial growth and colonization. A recent study has demonstrated ...

Vancomycin is a common antibiotic used to treat gram-positive bacterial infections. It targets a key building block of the bacterial cell wall called Lipid II, but it can’t reach this lipid in ...

The incidence of enterococcal infections has been increasing over the past few years, with rising rates of multidrug resistance. VRE is increasingly a problem in many hospitals and intensive care ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...
