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…
The mere scent of seafood can severely sicken those allergic to it — and therefore they are more likely to avoid it. Similarly, individuals who…
Researchers have found that the fungus Colletotrichum tofieldiae can both support and inhibit plant growth, depending on the activation of a specific gene cluster. This…
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…
Computer simulation shows the release of only 1% of dormant pathogens could cause major environmental damage and the widespread loss of host organisms around the…
Analysis provides further support for managing influenza A infection in people who work with swine. A new study of the strain of influenza A responsible…
A group of researchers from Kiel University and MPI-EB has identified genetic factors that the pathogen Yersinia pestis acquired during its recent evolution. This discovery…
A groundbreaking online resource for plant pathogens has been developed, aimed at assisting researchers worldwide in identifying, detecting, and monitoring species of Phytophthora. These pathogens have…
Emerging field of synthetic condensates isolates or traps together biomolecules to control cellular processes. Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach…
Listeria monocytogenes, a deadly bacteria commonly found in the food processing industry, poses a significant threat to human health. Not only can it cause severe…
Drugs that might be used to treat infections in mammals by causing pathogen tolerance have been discovered through research on frog embryos. Why do some…
Owners of non-traditional pets have a higher risk of catching zoonotic diseases The danger of contracting zoonotic diseases, which are infections that transfer between animals…
Antibiotic-resistant pathogens could be defeated with the assistance of a synthetic antibiotic A brand-new antibiotic that was developed at The Rockefeller University using computational models…
The sometimes-pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus has a long and intimate relationship with people, one that helps it fend off our immune response. Staphylococcus aureus is…
A trigger for ‘cell suicide’ might lead to new skin infection therapies Every second, one million cells in your body die. That means 2.6 pounds…
Pathogens Can Hitch a Ride on Plastic To Reach the Sea According to a new study by the University of California, Davis, microplastics are a…
