Plants know how to defend themselves against pathogenic microorganisms. In turn, pathogens have sensors to detect such ...

A chemical radar allows bacteria to sense and eliminate predators. Investigating how microorganisms communicate deepens our ...

New research suggests that lingering cell wall fragments from the Lyme disease bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, may be responsible for persistent symptoms long after antibiotic treatment.

At least two cases of listeria have been linked to ice cream in the Baltimore metro area, prompting health and safety ...

Antibiotic resistance is a serious threat to public health. When antibiotics don't work, we risk not being able to treat many types of infections and people who would previously have been cured, can ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

In a lab in the heart of Boston, professor Bree Aldridge leads a team of researchers trying to understand a threat that is ...

Michiel Kleerebezem is to receive a four-hundred-thousand-euro NWO grant for further research into health-promoting bacteria ...

What if we could fight climate change using bacteria that live on air? That's the vision behind a newly funded international research project led by ...

Researchers are almost ready to start testing a methane-eating bacteria that could help cut emissions from landfills.

show that the emergence of resistance can be understood in the mechanism of how bacteria build up defenses against being infected by viruses. They focused on genes in the bacterium that interfere ...
