Researchers from the Chemistry department at the University of Almeria are taking part in a project made up of 14 research teams from 9 different countries, which aims to discover natural antibiotics made from micro-algae which may be useful in the treatment of bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
Researchers from the University of Jaén have discovered that a preservative contained in food such as mayonnaise or canned products enhances the effect of antibiotics against certain bacteria that don’t affect food but that can produce diseases in people with a lowered defence system.

A team of researchers from the DOMCA Company, located in Granada, has collaborated with researchers from the University of Granada to obtain a natural antibiotic that reduces infections in fish farms using garlic and onion extracts. This would be an alternative to the use of drugs that could be harmful for consumers.
A researcher in genetics at the University of Granada has formulated a hypothesis that gives an answer to a question that the scientific community hasn’t been able: why are bacteria becoming more resistant to antibiotics? According to this scientist, the abuse of this medicine makes non resistant bacteria copy the DNA of those who are […]
