Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health crisis that makes common infections harder to treat and puts many medical ...

Scientists are uncovering a surprising way to influence bacteria—not by killing them, but by changing how they communicate.

Gut bacteria rapidly adapt to processed food additives, revealing how modern diets can reshape microbial evolution worldwide.

In an opinion piece published in Microbiology Australia, a James Cook University team led by Dr. Yaoqin Hong recently ...

With the antibacterial system in place, researchers created precise bacterial patterns. They spread nanoparticle-coated bacteria on mixed cellulose ester membranes and exposed them to light through a ...

Infectious disease is a major cause of social and economic instability, with pathogenic bacteria and viruses accounting for most cases worldwide. That said, colonization does not necessarily cause ...

As cities grow and natural habitats shrink, urban wildlife must adapt to rapidly changing environments. A new study published ...

Bacterial patterns invisible to the eye reveal hidden information only with correct biochemical triggers, creating ...

Bacterial vaginosis, commonly known as BV, is the most common vaginal infection. Nearly 30% of women in the U.S. will experience bacterial vaginosis at some point in their lifetime. Bacterial ...

Pneumonia is an infection of one or both lungs which affects alveoli, the tiny sacs found in clusters at the end of the branching structure of airways (respiratory tree) that supply air to the lungs.

For national-level comparisons, bacterial contamination was evaluated across all major meat types — chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, and pork chops — and four bacterial pathogens: campylobacter, ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.
