The Strep A Outbreak Prevention Team has won a 2024 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Infectious Diseases Research

IMB is housing a UQ-led training centre to tackle the global crisis of antimicrobial-resistant infections.

New research has identified the main types of E. coli bacteria that cause neonatal meningitis, and revealed why some infections recur despite being treated with antibiotics.

Researchers have discovered that 'bad' bacteria can't make cellulose on their cell surface, ultimately leading to severe disease.

Researchers have discovered a fault in the bacteria-killing zinc pathway in immune cells in people with cystic fibrosis, and a potential way to get around it to reduce infections.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest global threats to health, food security and development. Here are the four ways in which bacteria have learnt to adapt and become resistant.

The latest snapshot of the clinical pipeline of new antibiotics shows improvement, but not enough to avoid a crisis.

Two IMB PhD students have been acknowledged for their contribution to STEM.

IMB researchers have studied all four types of bacteria that cause sepsis to identify new targets for antibiotics.

Genomic surveillance has detected a new strain of Strep A called M1uk in Australia
