WHILE working with Chain, Florey and others on the inhibition of bacterial growth by penicillin 1, I noticed that concentrations of less than full inhibiting power caused a change in the ...

Seizure medicines can affect the way the body handles antibiotics. But the reverse is also true: some antibiotics affect levels of seizure medicines. If you are taking doxycycline (Vibramycin) for ...

Scientists are working to develop alternatives to antibiotics, as well as employing strategies to make existing drugs work better. Live Science has been documenting their efforts, as well as the ...
