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 ...

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 ...

Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics are a growing health problem. These dangerous pathogens are already thought to contribute to the deaths of over 4 million people every year, worldwide. The ...

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 ...

A research team from Kiel University has demonstrated which specific cellular mechanisms lead to the targeted weakening of ...

Humans have long had a love-hate relationship with bacteria. While there are bacterial strains that humans cannot live without, such as those that help us digest our food and bolster our immune ...

Researchers have developed a new method for detecting foodborne pathogens that is faster, cheaper, and more effective than existing methods. Their microfluidic chip uses light to detect multiple types ...

A University of Florida study has made a key discovery in understanding a disease that for over a century has plagued the ...
