Researchers at IISc have produced etched aluminium that is capable of killing Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli and keep surfaces free of both E. coli and S. aureus. Surfaces that…
Mimicking tiny features seen on insect wings and shark skin that effectively keep their surfaces free of bacteria, a team from Bengaluru’s Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has found a…
Indian researchers have unravelled the mechanism by which hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas produced by bacteria protects them from antibiotics and plays a key role in helping bacteria develop drug resistance.…
Using crystal engineering, a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore has successfully produced a highly efficacious binary salt of two commonly used drugs — norfloxacin…
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IIT-H) have made a promising start to render E. coli bacteria more susceptible to host immune response. The researchers have found a potential way of…
Drinking water can now be made completely free of E. coli in about 30 minutes by exposing it to sunlight thanks to a catalyst developed by researchers at the Indian…
Going a step further, a team of researchers from IISc Bangalore has improved upon the water purification membrane they developed in 2014. The membrane allows higher flow of water across it…
Researchers have identified a second sample of E. coli in human sample in the U.S. containing the mcr-1 gene. This comes nearly six weeks after the first case of a…
