Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists at Texas A&M AgriLife ...

Antibiotic resistant bacteria already cause tens of thousands of fatal infections every year, and that number is expected to continue to rise. Even while many commonly used antibiotics are becoming ...

Lactobacilli that live in the human female urinary tract's microbiome are competitive and kill nearby pathogenic bacteria, according to the first study of its kind by a team led by microbiologist Dr.

Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis developed a novel compound that effectively clears Gram-positive bacterial infections in mice, in particular skin and soft tissue ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, describe how ...

In Brazil, a group of researchers supported by FAPESP created mutant forms of Salmonella to understand the mechanisms that favor colonization of the intestinal tract of chickens by these pathogenic ...

In Gram-negative bacteria, which include some of the most devastating human pathogens, just two mechanisms for the export of polysaccharides have been identified so far. Now a research team has ...

Enter fungi expert Mahmoud Ghannoum, a microbiome researcher at Case Western Reserve University and the director of the University Hospitals Center for Medical Mycology. Back in 2008, he had a hunch ...
