Pathogenic bacteria often delay the activation of their virulence program until they are inside the host. Researchers have ...

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 ...

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...

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 ...

A new study, led by researchers at the University of Liverpool, has revealed how pathogenic bacteria construct tiny protein-based compartments, known as Eut microcompartments, which enable them to ...

Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help determine whether unfamiliar bacteria carry genetic features linked to ...

For bacteria, microplastics are the perfect meetup spot—tiny, intimate surfaces where microbes can cling, huddle close and swap genes. And these crowded bacterial breeding grounds may pose a threat to ...

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 ...

Investigating the Elements of Plant Defense Mechanisms Within Plant Immune Responses Against Pathogens: Volume I Volume II B ...

Once a specialist feeder, the reed leafhopper has rapidly evolved into one of the world’s most destructive crop pests, and scientists now believe its hidden bacteria are the key to its explosive ...
