A new water quality report by the Surf Rider foundation finds pollution levels at some testing sites on Oahu s windward side are 3X times higher than sites near the Ala
A newly discovered species of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been named after the academic institute where it was identified – the John Innes Centre.
New research has discovered that common artificial sweeteners can cause previously healthy gut bacteria to become diseased and invade the gut wall, potentially leading to serious health issues.
Toxic pesticide turned into treatment against antibiotic-resistant bacteria
N-Aryl-C-nitroazoles are an important class of heterocyclic compounds. They are used as pesticides and fungicides. However, these substances could be toxic to humans and cause mutations. As they are not frequently used, there is little data about them in the medicinal chemistry literature. However, it has been suggested recently that the groups of compounds that are traditionally avoided can help to fight pathogenic bacteria. Yet, to reduce toxic effects, a great amount of work must be carried out at the molecular level, accurate optimization of the molecular environment of the nitro-heteroaromatic warhead .
