Since times past, cranberries have been used to both prevent and cure urinary tract infections (UTIs), whether as juice, pills, or capsules. Now, this conventional treatment is supported by credible scientific findings as well. Cranberries appear on our screens whenever we search for home cures for urinary tract infections (UTIs) online. That raises the question […]
IIT Bombay alumni create a smartphone-based health diagnostic kit giving results in 30 seconds
NeoDocs, a firm started by three IIT Bombay graduates named Anurag Meena, Nikunj Malpani, and Pratik Lodha, created the testing kit. Anurag Meena, Nikunj Malpani, and Pratik Lodha, three alumni of the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B), have created a smartphone-based health test kit that uses a urine sample and provides results in […]
A new and more effective drug for urinary tract infection uncovered
Researchers uncover a treatment combination that is particularly effective against drug-resistant cases of urinary tract infections. A new drug combination is more effective, especially against stubborn, drug-resistant infections, according to an international study led by a Rutgers University researcher comparing new and older treatments for complex urinary tract infections. Researchers from the ALLIUM Phase 3 clinical trial […]
Fabimycin demonstrated potential in the fight against more than 200 antibiotic-resistant microorganisms
The results of this study appear in ACS Central Science. Bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria mutate over time and no longer respond to antibiotics, making infections more difficult to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. Scientists have described infections due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria as a threat to modern […]
Understanding Cytolytic Vaginosis
This condition’s symptoms can resemble those of a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. The condition known as cytolytic vaginosis, also known as “lactobacillus overgrowth syndrome” or “Doderlein’s cytolysis,” is hypothesised to occur when an excessive amount of one particular type of bacteria develops in your vagina. It is typical to have the bacteria, known scientifically […]
The evolution of E. coli bacteria is the subject of a recent study
New evidence shows that genetic material from E. coli in farm animals may have contributed to the evolution of dangerous pandemic strains of E. coli in humans. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a type of bacteria that can be found in the environment, foods, and the intestines of humans and animals. E. coli is a […]
