Researchers report that, for a bacterial pathogen already resistant to an antibiotic, prolonged exposure to that antibiotic not only boosted its ability to retain its resistance gene, but also made the pathogen more readily pick up and maintain resistance to a second antibiotic and become a dangerous, multidrug-resistant strain. Source: Antibiotic exposure can 'prime' single-resistant […]

The discovery of general anesthetics — compounds which induce unconsciousness, prevent control of movement and block pain — helped transform dangerous operations into safe surgery. But scientists still don’t understand exactly how general anesthetics work. Now, researchers have revealed how a general anesthetic called isoflurane weakens the transmission of electrical signals between neurons, at junctions […]
