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.

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The researchers thus expect that this type of treatment could be adapted for use against other bacterial pathogens. "The recently published findings open up a new and innovative way to fight ...

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a sophisticated molecular apparatus that many Gram‐negative bacterial pathogens deploy to inject effector proteins directly into host cells. This machinery ...

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 ...
