Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs and Yale University have created a system for engineering the first fully synthetic ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have discovered how certain pathogenic bacteria in gut and breast ...

Clostridioides difficile can form iron-storage organelles known as ferrosomes. These protect bacteria from iron toxicity and promote infection by acting as a countermeasure to the host’s defence ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen responsible for tuberculosis, has evolved a remarkably layered set of molecular ...

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...

German Leibniz Institute DSMZ makes WHO-listed fungi available to researchers worldwide BRAUNSCHWEIG, LOWER SAXONY ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...
