Uppsala University The Uppsala Antibiotic Center has received additional funding and is now starting 14 new doctoral projects. Five years ago, Uppsala University took a new step in the fight against accelerating antibiotic resistance with the establishment of the Uppsala Antibiotic Center. Now the centre has received a second round of funding with SEK 35 million from Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Fourteen new PhD projects will now begin at its res...

Using theoretical models of bacterial metabolism and reproduction, scientists can predict the type of resistance that bacteria will develop when they are...

Study shows how new antibiotic resistance genes arise from random DNA sequences An important and still unanswered question is how new genes that cause antibiotic resistance arise. In a new study, Swedish and American researchers have shown how new genes that produce resistance can arise from completely random DNA sequences. The results have been published in the journal PLOS Genetics. Antibiotic resistance is a major global problem and the spread of resistant bacteria causes disease and death,...
