Odilorhabdins: Researchers Discover New Class of Antibiotics
An international team of scientists led by the University of Illinois, Chicago, has discovered a new class of naturally produced, ribosome-targeting antibacterial agents, odilorhabdins, produced by a nematode-symbiotic bacterium.
Over 200 Never-Before-Seen Viruses Discovered Lurking in Frogs, Fish, And Reptiles
Not only does the finding have implications for studying human virology in the future, it also shows that viruses have an evolutionary history dating back millions of years - and they evolved concurrently with vertebrates.
Potential weapons for the battle against antibiotic resistance discovered
The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa can produce specific molecular factors that dramatically increase or decrease an antibiotic's ability to kill Staphylococcus aureus, another bacterium that often co-infects with P. aeruginosa. The findings point to the possibility of new antibiotics employing these factors to enhance antibiotic susceptibility.
Walnuts may promote health by changing gut bacteria
A new study has found that walnuts in the diet change the makeup of bacteria in the gut, which suggests a new way walnuts may contribute to better health.
New tool to distinguish between viral, bacterial infections
Antibiotics are lifesaving drugs, but overuse is leading to antibiotic resistance, one of the world's most pressing health threats. Scientists identified 11 genetic markers in blood that accurately distinguished between viral and bacterial infections 80 to 90 percent of the time. The finding is important because physicians don't have a good way to confirm bacterial infections like pneumonia and more-often-than-not default to an antibiotic.
A naturally occurring clay shows promise as an antibiotic
Julian Davies (University of British Columbia) and his team tested the clay as an antibiotic against various bacteria. “It’s been almost all surprises since then,” he says. Solutions of the clay can kill 16 different strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria that commonly infect hospital patients!

Probiotics are mostly useless and can actually hurt you
Probiotics are living micro-organisms that are taken by millions of people to boost their microbiome or to restore their gut ecosystem after a dose of antibiotics. Yet questions remain about whether they actually work.
The urinary microbiome associated with bladder cancer
An international group of scientists led by dr. Terzić, including Croatian microbiological society member dr. Viljemka Bučević Popović as a first author, have recently published a paper on the association of urinary microbiome and bladder cancer.Postani član HMD-a

Izdavaštvo
Priručnik za vježbe iz opće mikrobiologije
Ovaj sveučilišni priručnik napisalo je petnaestak autora iz desetak visokoškolskih ustanova iz Zagreba i Rijeke, a sadržaj je podijeljen u petnaest, slikama bogato ilustriranih poglavlja u kojima su opisane i obrađene različite bakteriološke, virološke, mikološke, imunološke i molekularno-biološke metode koje se upotrebljavaju u općoj mikrobiologiji koja se studira na nizu različitih fakulteta i visokih škola.
Veterinarska imunologija
Radi se o vrhunskoj literaturi za potrebe visokoškolske nastave iz veterinarske imunologije. Knjiga je svojim sadržajem namijenjena prvenstveno studentima, ali i veterinarima u praksi i nastavnicima.

Veterinarska klinička imunologija
Iako je riječ o sveučilišnom udžbeniku, knjiga je po svom sadržaju i opsegu namijenjena i kolegama veterinarima koji rade u praksi, ponajprije onima koji se u svagdašnjem radu bave tzv. malom praksom.
