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 ...

As antibiotic resistance accelerates, ESKAPE pathogens reveal how hospital superbugs survive treatment, spread across ...

Study finds that a classically anaerobic bacterium, ETBF, can benefit from, and even help create, an oxygen-rich environment.

For bacteria, microplastics are the perfect meetup spot—tiny, intimate surfaces where microbes can cling, huddle close and swap genes. And these crowded bacterial breeding grounds may pose a threat to ...

On a small, gently rocking research boat anchored just offshore in Chesapeake Bay, I lowered a sterile plastic bottle into the water to collect a sample for studying aquatic microbes. Workers nearby ...
