Corynebacterium diphtheriae, historically recognised for its diphtheria toxin, exhibits a multifaceted interaction with its host that extends beyond toxin production. Current research underscores that ...

Communication between parasites and their hosts is a central determinant of infection outcome, shaping parasite survival, tissue tropism, immune modulation, ...

New research from UNC Charlotte's Center for Computational Intelligence to Predict Health and Environmental Risks (CIPHER) has found that the two recent and prevalent strains of the virus that cause ...

Future Microbiol. 2010;5(2):267-288. The development and use of informatics tools and databases for glycobiology and glycomics research has increased considerably in recent years. However, the general ...

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms—including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites—that invade a host, replicate, and ...

Autotrophs play an essential role in the cycling of carbon and nutrients, yet disease-ecosystem relationships are often overlooked in these dynamics. Importantly, the availability of elemental ...

In a recent review published in the journal PNAS, researchers examined the germ theory from a non-centric perspective on infection outcome, considering the variables that influence illness severity ...

The use of protoplasts to study innate immune responses / Ping He, Libo Shan, and Jen Sheen -- Marker-exchange mutagenesis and complementation strategies for the gram-negative bacteria Xanthomonas ...

Plant‐pathogenic fungi rely on finely tuned cellular processes to invade host tissues and sustain infection. This study ...

UK scientists have offered a fresh insight into why urinary tract infections (UTIs) frequently persist after treatment by discovering that many bacterial strains can hide in the bladder wall. The ...
