#Antibiotic "megacluster" discovery provides new strategy to fight #superbugs
Most #antibiotics are single bioactive molecules, and some can be thwarted with single mutations. Current situation is dire, discovery not only points to potentially new antibiotic regimen, but also entirely new strategy to once again get ahead in the microbial arms race. Block of #genes that codes for four molecules that appear to work in concert to derail a single essential metabolic pathway.

Scientists have created new TriPcide molecules that are effective against MRSA. This is important because MRSA is hard to treat with current medicines.

ANTIBACaterial Soap? The Invisible War on Germs Fuels Our Own.
Are antibacterial soaps making superbugs stronger? Research shows chemicals in common soaps and wipes could lead to antibiotic resistance. Find out what it means for you.

New research suggests chemicals in antibacterial soaps, like QACs, may actually help 'superbugs' become stronger, a problem not seen with plain soap and water.

India Fights Harder Against Superbugs
India is working hard to fight superbugs, which are germs that don't die with normal medicine. This is a serious health issue. The country is using a plan called 'One Health' to help protect people, animals, and the environment. New medicines are also being made to help.

Deaths linked to #antibioticresistant #superbugs rose 17% in #England in #2024
Nearly 400 new cases of #antibiotic-resistant #infections a week last year
“Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest health threats we face,” said the UKHSA’s chief, Susan Hopkins. “More people than ever are acquiring infections that cannot be effectively treated by antibiotics. This puts them at greater risk of serious illness and even death, with our poorest communities hit the hardest.”

#safely eradicate #parasites via #gene-drive
#medical : lice, scabies : #gene_drive
#lice (body, pubic, head) & #mites (' #scabies ') and #bedbugs have no #natural_predators , it would be fantastically amazing to have a #genedrive to #eradicate the sometimes-lethal insects. Last year, it was widely reported, one on the east coast had died -- was literally eaten alive by a parasite colony in jail. No treatment had been granted, despite repeat complaints. More recently, prisoners in #ice jails, families & children in #Gaza , and held in #Israeli #prisons have reported being deliberately #infected with scabies and lice, suffering horribly. Also #RX #treatment_resistance - much like #antibiotic_resistance w #superbugs - to conventional RX (#antiparasitics ) has skyrocketed: in late 1990s, efficacy was ~97% in USA. But a decade ago by 2016, dropped to ~35%. Today, the identical treatment is prescribed as 30 years ago. Finally, said #drugs = #neurotoxin #nerve_damage . A #genedrive could fix all of that. What is it? A gene edit which makes 100% of all offspring male: no females = inability to #reproduce and it perpetuates every generation so an edited male reproduces w nonedited female and all eggs become male, also carrying the gene-edit.... And eventually the colony depopulates entirely. A very fast & effective cure ..... versus.... a months-long hopeless battle dousing one's body in vinegar, daily, plus numerous other toxins & nerve damage. -

Powerful new #antibiotic that can kill #superbugs discovered in #soil #bacteria
Surprise discovery could pave the way for new treatments against #drugresistant #infections.
They discovered an intermediate compound — called premethylenomycin C lactone — whose #antimicrobial activity was 100 times stronger than that of the final product. Tiny doses killed strains of bacteria known to cause hard-to-treat infections.
