Most antibiotics used clinically are based on natural compounds produced by bacteria and other microorganisms.

Flesh-eating bacteria sound like the premise of a bad horror movie, but they're a growing—and potentially fatal—threat to people in the U.S.

University of Bristol–led researchers have identified a naturally occurring gut molecule that could strengthen chickens' immune response against a wide range of bacterial infections. This development, published today, Aug. 12, in The Journal of Immunology, offers a major step for

O banheiro é um dos ambientes da casa que mais concentra umidade, calor e resíduos de uso diário.

When it comes to identifying harmful bacteria, it helps to look at the company their genes keep.

Bacteria-killing phage viruses souped up with DNA-destroying CRISPR appear to have helped clear up a very serious infection caused by antibiotic-resistant E.

A joint research team—led by professor Young Seok Cho from the School of Medicine, alongside professor James J. Moon from the University of Michigan—has developed the world's first oral, microbiome-based nanomedicine. By leveraging natural metabolites produced by gut bacteria, th

Novos vírus tiveram o código genético gerado pelos algoritmos Evo-1 e Evo-2, da Universidade Stanford; eles matam bactérias e podem ajudar a combater infecções resistentes a antibióticos, mas nova tecnologia também levanta receio de vazamentos e uso em ações de bioterrorismo

Biofilms—bacterial communities encased in a sticky, polymer-rich matrix—can be difficult to treat because that matrix slows antibiotics and drug-carrying particles. With help from salt, though, Yale researchers have found a way to steer these particles into some biofilms and even

From project to product—such success stories are rare in basic agricultural research. In this case, researchers at the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) in Braunschweig discovered a new species of nodule-forming bacteria at the roots of sainfoin, which gives the forage crop a growth bo

Engineers have developed a strain of a common bacterial species that can feed exclusively on the three major sugars present in corn stalks. While the new multiple-sugar-consuming strain of the bacterium Pseudomonas putida is interesting in its own right, a new paper published in

State confirms nine cases, including five deaths, from Vibrio vulnificus organism, which thrives in seawaterHealth officials in Louisiana are urging beachgoers to take precautions during a summertime surge in infections from a flesh-eating bacterium found in coastal waters.Louisi
