A University of Cambridge team has had a third success with their AI-guided technique for designing vaccines against highly infectious viruses that threaten animal and human health. Their new broad-spectrum bird flu vaccine gave complete protection against globally circulating, diverse…
A company called Radical Numerics says it has given a human patient a cocktail of AI-designed viruses to fight an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection. TechRadar framed the story with a pointed headline: let’s see how that turns out. That caution fits…
Antibiotics do not work instantly, and lack of improvement after 48 hours does not always mean treatment has failed. But persistent or worsening symptoms can be a reason to reassess the diagnosis and treatment. It is easy to become impatient when…
Antibiotics excreted by patients promote antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospital sewers, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Ultimately, this may contribute to the development and spread of hard-to-treat infections. Pinpointing the responsible antibiotics paves…
The findings, published Oct. 29 in Nature Microbiology, are a major milestone for the field of virology and redefine picobirnaviruses as only the third known family of bacteria-infecting RNA viruses ever discovered. "This discovery changes our understanding of the gut ecosystem,…
A chronic urinary tract infection is a repeated or prolonged bacterial infection of the bladder or urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. While urinary tract infections are common, some women suffer from repeated…

Ebola has reached Nigeria, and Cameroon, Benin and Madagascar are tightening health checks before any case arrives. None of the three has recorded a case so far. The Ebola outbreak in Nigeria, confirmed on Tuesday 20 October 2026, has put its neighbours…
Wednesday, 21 October 2026 | Global Edition Europe’s sole fully integrated penicillin plant in Kundl, Austria, is endangered by ultra‑low‑cost Chinese antibiotics, prompting Sandoz to seek EU anti‑dumping action. By Marleen Kaesebier and Philip Blenkinsop KUNDL, Austria, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Tucked…
Viral infections can be difficult to treat as viruses evolve rapidly, allowing them to develop resistance to drugs designed to attack viral proteins directly. One alternative is host-directed therapy (HDT), an emerging medical approach that treats infections by targeting the…
