A team led by scientists has exploited the limitations of chemical combinations to write a cookbook with hundreds of recipes that have the potential to…
C. diff might not originate from external transmission but rather from within the infected patient themselves. Hospital staff dedicate significant effort to safeguard patients from…
Researchers from Duke University might have discovered a method to neutralize them, potentially averting $220 billion in yearly agricultural losses. Many of the bacteria that…
Taurine-Degrading Bacteria Influence Intestinal Microbiome A novel bacterium, Taurinivorans muris, which feeds on taurine and emits hydrogen sulfide, has been identified by researchers. This discovery…
Researchers have demonstrated that excessive sun exposure can adversely impact the short-term diversity and composition of the skin’s bacterial makeup. Skin, the largest organ of…
Could a blend of honey and vinegar serve as a traditional yet innovative approach to addressing persistent infections? The mixture of honey and vinegar, also…
Scientists have developed a nano-thin superbug-slaying material that holds promise for future integration into wound dressings and implants to thwart or treat bacterial infections. The…
In 2007, Yale pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Steven Schiff, visited his colleague Dr. Benjamin Warf at the CURE Children’s Hospital in Uganda. The scenes at the…
Scientists have successfully engineered E. coli bacteria to generate electricity, offering potential advancements in waste management, energy production, and other bioelectric applications. “We engineered E….
3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) decreased the Streptococcus mutans biofilm, a leading contributor to plaque and cavities, by 90%. A significant portion of the global population experiences persistent…
A team from Lund University in Sweden collaborated with Ukrainian microbiologists to study bacterial resistance in patients wounded in the war and treated in hospitals….
New research presents a potential solution to a bacterial infection that impacts 160 million people globally. A new study in Nature Communications reveals that a…
Researchers at Brigham are developing a new approach that uses engineered bacteria to more safely and effectively treat autoimmune conditions in the brain. Brigham researchers…
A new powerful antibiotic, isolated from previously unstudied bacteria, shows promise in tackling harmful bacteria, including the multi-resistant ‘superbugs’. Dubbed “Clovibactin,” this antibiotic destroys bacteria…
Researchers have discovered a new species of marine bacteria that reproduces through a unique budding process and releases viruses to facilitate nitrogen metabolism. Researchers have…
Scientists discover bacteria capable of “sensing” Earth’s magnetic field in deep-sea vents. Bacteria that can align themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field have been found…
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria get extra nutrients and thrive when the drugs kill ‘good’ bacteria in the gut. New research led by scientists at Imperial College London…
Researchers from Japan’s RIKEN Center identified a gut bacteria strain, Alistipes indistinctus, that may combat insulin resistance and prevent type-2 diabetes. While the findings offer…
