Candida auris is an emerging threat, primarily to hospital patients and residents of nursing homes. The fungus easily spreads, colonizes surfaces and objects where it can survive for weeks to months, ...

Drug resistance has accelerated in recent years with the emergence of deadly bacteria and “superbugs.” UC San Diego biologists have developed a new CRISPR-based technology capable of removing ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is evolving faster than our ability to counter it, driven by microbial adaptation, gene transfer, and human practices across health, agriculture, and the environment.
