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…
A study links major childhood allergies to gut bacteria, identifying a bacterial signature associated with allergy development. Factors like infancy antibiotic use and breastfeeding influence…
Modern farming, like all industries, has a significant dependence on plastics. Consider the plastic mulch that adorns vegetable beds, the PVC channels that manage water…
Bactometer, developed over 15 years of research, is a rapid biological detector targeting antimicrobial resistance in hospitals. Combining magnetic methods with machine learning, it promises…
New research examines the potential of different wristband materials to harbor harmful pathogenic bacteria. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified our focus on disinfection practices. However, recent…
Stepping into a shower, we often seek the comforting embrace of warm water after a taxing day — but there may be something dangerous lurking…
Decades of work by a series of researchers has led to a groundbreaking drug, innovative patents, and the launch of a new startup. A scientific…
How one regulatory protein acts as a multi-tool of bacterial cell wall remodeling. For bacterial cells to grow and divide, their cell walls need continual…
Over 10% of all life forms are composed of bacteria, but it wasn’t until recently that we came to understand that, similar to humans, soil…
Digital simulation suggests a small percentage of pathogens could cause significant ecological damage. According to a new study, ancient pathogens released from melting permafrost have…
Scientists have found toxins in the venom of asp caterpillars punch holes in cells the same way as toxins produced by disease-causing bacteria such as…
