A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical ...

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly “sense” their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can ...

Rivals or allies—how do bacteria and fungi interact in our bodies? Until now, bacteria on our mucous membranes were primarily considered to be antagonists of fungi, as they can inhibit their growth.

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

As therapies and antibiotics develop and improve, pathogens adapt to overcome current medications. Bacteria are a specific organism that can adapt quickly | Immunology ...

New research shows that nanoplastics in water can strengthen bacteria, raising concerns about drinking water safety.

When ships sink, they add artificial structures to the seafloor that can quickly become diverse, ecologically important ...

New research suggests that natural compounds from turmeric and rhubarb may help fight certain antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Antibiotic resistance is widely recognized as one of the greatest global public health threats, but scientists are now ...

Gilbert Gee and Annie Ro depict systemic racism as the hidden base of an iceberg 10 (see illustration in online appendix exhibit 1). 11 The iceberg’s visible part represents the overt racism that ...

A team of researchers at UCLA has reported an unexpected twist in a condition long treated as a crystal chemistry problem. In samples of the most common kidney stone, they found bacteria living inside ...
