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…
Researchers used fragments taken from an Italian mummy to recreate the genome of a centuries-old strain of E. coli Using fragments taken from a 16th-century…
Salk researchers make unexpected discoveries about how a particular microbe influences animal behavior. As scientists learn more about the microorganisms that colonize the body—collectively called…
Most types of Escherichia coli are harmless, but the ones that aren’t can cause severe life-threatening diarrhea. These problematic bacteria launch infections by inducing intestinal cells to…
Scientists at the University of Dundee have discovered that E. coli bacteria could hold the key to an efficient method of capturing and storing or…
New research from MIT reveals that engineered E. coli can store long-term memories of chemical exposure and other events in their DNA. MIT engineers have…
A new study from scientists at the Wyss Institute details engineered bacteria that can make key precursors of high-octane biofuels. New lines of engineered bacteria…
Infections with multi-drug resistant E. coli, which is also known as ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase), have been assumed to be a hospital phenomenon. A recent…
The DNA-damaging bacterium Escherichia coli that flourishes in the digestive tracts of mice afflicted with inflammatory bowel disease has been linked to cancer. Scientists found…
Synthetic biologists have been able to encode a kind of rewritable memory directly into DNA, after seeking ways to use biological data-storage systems effectively. This…
Engineers at UCLA have developed a cost-effective cell-phone attachment that can detect the presence of the bacterium E. coli in food and water. FINDINGS: Researchers…
