The hunt is on for new ways to overcome bacterial resistance

Article Abstract:

Researchers from various pharmaceutical companies are employing high technology approaches to develop ways to address disease-causing microbes that mutate to resist conventional antibiotics. Researchers report the importance of finding the vital proteins in a bacterium. They also stress the need for an antibiotic that directly attacks bacterial resistance. Schering-Plough Research Institute, Microcide Pharmaceuticals/Johnson and Johnson and Exponential Biotherapies are among the those conducting research on bacterial resistance.

Bacterial endotoxins

Article Abstract:

Scientists continue to study endotoxins because they typically have the potential to shield some bacteria from combatting infection, while still enhancing the body's immune resistance. Combined international research teams are learning about bacteria synthesis, but further study is needed.

No resistance

Article Abstract:

Issues are presented concerning the potential uses of high-temperature superconductors in the wireless communications and power cable production industries. The high cost of high-temperature superconductors is still a deterrent to wider usage.
