In particular, they reported the first homodimeric lanthipeptide modification enzyme, PneKC from the bacteria species Streptococcus Pneumonae. Structural analysis of the enzyme revealed a critical ...

New research has uncovered exactly how the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae has become resistant to the antibiotic penicillin. The same research could also open up MRSA to attack by penicillin ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists are building a new super-resolution microscope that uses laser light to study the inner workings and behaviours of superbugs to gain new insights into how they cause disease ...

Understand the importance of the pneumococcal vaccine for adults, children, and anyone with a chronic illness - along with its side effects.

This report describes four patients with pneumococcal pneumonia in whom empirical treatment with levofloxacin failed. In these patients, the isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were resistant to l ...

Scientists are using laser light to bring molecular-scale resolution to the study of superbugs such as Streptococcus Pneumoniae, an advance that promises new insights into how they cause disease.

In February 2002, clinicians at the Dartmouth College Health Service recognized an outbreak of conjunctivitis; cultures of conjunctival swabs implicated Streptococcus pneumoniae. An investigation w ...

Scientists are developing a microscope that can study the inner workings of superbugs using photonics to understand how they cause disease.

I started my lab in the School of Biosciences (formerly the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology) at the Florey Institute in December 2016. Before coming to Sheffield, my post-doctoral ...
