A complex interplay of factors influences the spread of superbug genes during wastewater treatment and reuse. The combination of chemical and physical stressors that bacteria…
Bacteria in raw seafood can make you sick. Seafood can also spread bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. Sushi has become everyday fare in many…
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…
