Recently, a group of academics discovered that saccharin harbors antimicrobial properties, meaning that it can kill pathogenic bacteria similarly to how antibiotics work. The research, published in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Escape from the vacuole following invasion is crucial for cytosolic pathogens. Bacteria escape rapidly from the vacuole through mechanisms that rely on the production of secreted enzymes and form ...

It has been a year ago since bacteria from war-wounded at hospitals in Ukraine were analysed. The study, which attracted a lot of attention, showed that some of the bacteria types had total resistance ...

QQ plays a role in the host (aquatic organisms), where it will block the signal repression and all the steps of QS activity to help no bacteria resistance to occur, thus inhibiting the growth of ...
