A University of Florida study has made a key discovery in understanding a disease that for over a century has plagued the white button mushroom—a nutrient-dense vegetable that is valued for its ...

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 ...

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 ...

A study led by researchers at the University of Liège reveals the mechanism by which surfactin, a molecule produced by ...

Researchers created a powerful tool to trace how microbes spread between people, improving outbreak tracking and disease ...

Humans have long had a love-hate relationship with bacteria. While there are bacterial strains that humans cannot live without, such as those that help us digest our food and bolster our immune ...

A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the CIBER de Bioingeniería, Biomaterials y Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN) has developed an intelligent nano killer based on a ...

An interdisciplinary research team led by the Leibniz-HKI in Jena has discovered a new group of bioactive natural compounds in pathogenic bacteria of the genus Pandoraea: pandorabactins. They enable ...

Diverse gut bacteria have been found to block pathogenic microorganisms from getting the nutrients they need to thrive and infect the body. The gut microbiome is comprised of hundreds of different ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria from proliferating. The study is published in the journal Microbiome.
