Lead antibacterial compound against a novel target in Gram-negative bacteria validated in infection modelsProgressing a ...
When harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as E. coli, invade through the digestive tract, gut cells usually fight ...
A mechanism of antiviral immunity in bacteria has been characterized. A research team from Umeå University (Sweden) has uncovered a mechanism for how bacteria build up antiviral immunity against ...
We use experimental taphonomy of embryos and larvae to determine the mechanisms by which endogenous bacteria stabilize rather than destroy soft tissues. Here, we show that bacteria can rapidly move ...
A common, usually harmless bacteria have a significant role in causing stomach cancer, a new study has found. It joins the better-known, at least in medical circles, H. pylori bacteria as a known ...
Wound inflammation which results in impaired wound healing can have serious consequences for patients. Researchers have discovered a new defensive mechanism which enables our skin to actively kill ...
Fungal infections may not be as common as bacterial or viral infections, but they can still be deadly. And the deadliest pathogenic fungi, such as Candida auris, are becoming increasingly resistant to ...
Only one thousandth of a milligram of the bacterial botulinum toxin is necessary to kill a living organism. The toxin unfolds its lethal effect by preventing the release of neurotransmitters at the ...
