Antibiotic resistance is racing toward a global crisis, with “superbugs” projected to cause over 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Now, scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a powerful new CRISPR ...

The discovery of 5,000-year-old bacteria – that was until recently trapped in ice – could help or hinder humanity’s battle against infection.

Tackling antibiotic resistance likely requires a multifaceted approach. Better and faster point-of-care testing, new treatments, and antimicrobial stewardship could hold promise for future control.

Bacteria can live practically anywhere; they have colonized the human body, the ocean depths, frozen ice, and blistering hot springs... | Microbiology ...
