The various cellular pathways that antibiotics inhibit, which include the synthesis of the cell wall and macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and folic acid, have been pinpointed by researchers.

Researchers have discovered that bacteria can sense threats in advance through a general danger signal. Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm.

Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance Bacteria employ a variety of strategies to modify a bacterial component or process so that antibiotics can no longer stop their growth or kill them. One means is to ...

The more antibiotics we use ... Some might try to attack the cell wall; others interfere with the way the bacterial cell functions, or with its metabolism. When a candidate is found this must ...
