When it’s time to harvest, there are added risks for pathogens and bacteria to come in contact with lettuce. “Contamination can occur through human handling, contaminated equipment or water used in ...

In the past few years, however, it has become clear that galectins also bind non-self glycans on the surface of potentially pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, protista and fungi ...

Pathogens are disease-causing viruses, bacteria, fungi or protists. Eventhough pathogens are omnipresent in the marine environment, our knowledge about pathogens that cause diseases in marine ...

The next step for researchers is applying their new technique to pathogenic bacteria, like those used in the meningitis vaccine, for potential productivity increases and cost savings. They are also ...

fischeri, further studies revealed its involvement in the regulation of virulence-related gene transcription of pathogenic bacteria ... 2020; Odularu et al., 2022). Marine bacteria produce a wide ...

The findings have the potential to underpin development of novel therapeutics against some of the deadliest bacteria. “Our lab has a front row seat to the parade of pathogens that move through the ...

“Saccharin breaks the walls of bacterial pathogens, causing them to distort and eventually burst, killing the bacteria.” This physical breakdown lets antibiotics enter the bacteria more easily. As a ...

The issue of intestinal bacteria is a complex one. On the one hand, we are dependent on the microorganisms because they are the ones that digest the food in our intestine. On the other hand, there are ...

A genomic study of hydrogen-producing bacteria has revealed entirely ... associated with the different FHL gene clusters. Vibrio tritonius, a marine species, and Vibrio porteresiae, found in ...

On the other hand, there are also numerous pathogens present among the bacteria. Some of these pathogens can cause diarrhea, while with others it depends on the circumstances: they can live ...

Our research examines this complex evolutionary process to learn how these genes are transferred to pathogenic bacteria. This makes predicting how future bacteria develop resistance possible ...

Researchers led by the University of Waterloo have discovered how to turn common bacteria into high-efficiency factories capable of producing tiny, powerful particles for drug delivery ...
