In addition, it is known that UVC light (around 265 nm) has a bactericidal effect, but little is known about the bactericidal effect of UVB light. In this study, we examined the bactericidal ...

Now, a paper published in Cell documents the extraordinary finding that bactericidal antibiotics that target different cellular pathways kill cells by a common mechanism — the production of ...

The study, performed in a laboratory environment, shows that antibiotics can achieve a 64-fold increase in bactericidal effect when used together with the material, whose antibacterial properties ...

The bactericidal action of vancomycin results primarily from inhibition of cell-wall biosynthesis. In addition, vancomycin alters bacterial-cell-membrane permeability and RNA synthesis.

Study: Safety, pharmacokinetics, and early bactericidal activity of quabodepistat in combination with delamanid, bedaquiline, or both in adults with pulmonary tuberculosis: a randomised ...

Venous blood samples were drawn before, immediately after, and 24 hours after each session. Results—There were no significant differences in basal values of net chemotaxis (chemotaxis − random ...
