Mandatory evacuations have been ordered. The fire is burning along Old Highway 395 and North Lilac Rd. View evacuation areas at the Genaysis mapping site. An evacuation center is at the Castle ...

In this review, the implications of survival and dispersal mechanisms are discussed in the context of both the natural environment and infectious diseases. Biofilms — matrix-enclosed microbial ...

A Japanese study led by Hiroshi Ohno links specific gut bacteria present in newborns to food sensitivities and allergies. Published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the research ...

The researchers acknowledged limitations in the study, including its focus on a Japanese population with a relatively small sample size. Dr. Tonomura noted that the oral and gut microbiome is strongly ...

But the recent trend reversal has raised questions—and some alarm bells—among infectious disease and public health experts. Here they offer insight into the causes and implications of the ...

Bovine tuberculosis is a bacterial disease that can affect all mammals, including humans. It is spread primarily through “respiratory secretions,” whether through nose-to-nose contact or contaminated ...

Meet the expert: Thomas Russo, MD, is a professor and chief of infectious disease at the University at Buffalo in New York. Unfortunately, yes, there is a tuberculosis outbreak happening in Kansas ...

In 2022, more than 941,600 Americans died from cardiovascular disease. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, according to a new report. The American Heart ...

In the quest to take the “forever” out of “forever chemicals,” bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...

This same toughening process occurs in bacterial cells in the human body: When the infections move from acute to chronic, the envelopes change and the diseases become very difficult, or impossible ...

A team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts of the bond-breaking process.
