A new study suggests that E. coli from meat products may be responsible for hundreds of thousands of urinary tract infections in the U.S. each…
Contrary to common beliefs, your urine is not germ-free. In fact, a new study shows that the urethra of healthy men is teeming with microbial…
Multi-drug-resistant organisms can be transmitted between healthy dogs and cats and their hospitalized owners. Fortunately, only a small number of cases were found suggesting pets…
Synthetic biology presents novel approaches to combat the primary cause of death in hospitals. Scientists have created the first “living medicine” to cure lung infections….
A creative integration of AI-assisted imaging with the technology of an outdated inkjet printer results in a more efficient and cost-effective method for detecting bacteria…
Researchers create virus-resistant, safely restrained E. coli for medical, industrial applications. In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a…
The novel strains of cyanobacteria exhibit a fast and efficient “biosorption” of rare earth elements, making recycling possible. Rare earth elements (REEs) are a set…
A comprehensive understanding of metabolism enables the prediction of the growth of a crucial environmental microbe. A group led by Professor Ralf Rabus, a microbiologist…

According to a team of Korean researchers, individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) have a decreased diversity of bacteria in their intestines compared to healthy…
A clinical trial testing a freeze-dried, temperature-stable experimental tuberculosis (TB) vaccine in healthy adults found that it was safe and stimulated both antibodies and responses…
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a common form of dementia that currently has no cure. Previous research has suggested that the gut microbiome, or…
An ongoing study led by Cedars-Sinai has demonstrated that certain gut bacteria may increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes while others may provide protection…
A recent study has uncovered the importance of the microbiome in controlling body temperature. Normal body temperature can vary from individual to individual. However, despite…
A new study sheds light on the chemical processes that trigger marine bacteria to transition from coexisting with an algal host to a sudden killer….
Researchers Document Evolution of Plague Over Hundreds of Years in Medieval Denmark Longitudinal study reveals Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes plague, was reintroduced into…
The researchers analyzed over 600 genome sequences of Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for causing the plague. In an effort to gain deeper insight into…
