Increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria hinders treatment of kidney infections
Extended-spectrum ß-lactamase-producing bacteria come from a strain of E. coli and are resistant to several types of antibiotics, severely limiting treatment options.The increase in illnesses and deaths linked to medication-resistant bacteria has been well-documented by researchers and received extensive public attention in recent years.Now, UCLA-led research shows how these bacteria are making it more difficult to treat a common but severe kidney infection.

Scientists create a protein which destroys antibiotic-resistant bacteria
The fight against superbugs has been well documented with new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria emerging all the time.But now scientists believe they are a step closer to winning the battle after discovering they can be destroyed by a new protein.The star-shaped 'peptide polymers' - dubbed SNAPPs - tear down cell walls in their attempts to defeat mutated bugs, experts claim.
