Americans at risk of 'nightmare bacteria' that have no treatment A new government study reveals a rapid rise in US cases of virtually untreatable, hard-to-detect bacterial infections since 2019.

“Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a major public health threat, consisting of common bacteria like E. coli and Klebsiella … have resistance to carbapenem antibiotics, a class of drugs often used as a last-resort defense for severe infections.

A Protein Antibiotic Inhibits the BAM Complex to Kill Without Cell Entry Many antibiotics are ineffective against Gram-negative pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa because they cannot penetrate the bacterial outer membrane. Here, we show that protein antibiotics calle...

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria blocks many antibiotics. Our latest work reveals that L-type pyocins bypass this barrier by inactivating the BAM complex, killing Pseudomonas aeruginosa without entering the cell, providing a new blueprint for beating antibiotic resistance.
