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 ...

In a new study, researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the mechanism of how bacteria build up defenses against being infected by viruses.

In a new study, researchers show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the mechanism of how bacteria build up defenses against being infected by viruses. It is about genes in the ...
