Light is a universal stimulus that influences all living things. Cycles of light and dark help set the biological clocks for ...

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.

Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The ...

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 ...

The study team included, back row, from left, graduate student Rebecca Ulrich; chemistry professor Paul Hergenrother; Chris Fields, of Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center, research scientist Po-Chao ...

Life-forms with no brain are capable of some astounding things. It might sound like sci-fi nightmare fuel, but some bacteria can wage kamikaze chemical warfare. Pathogenic bacteria make us sick by ...

Research funded in part by the CDC has shown that food irradiation could reduce the number of foodborne outbreaks caused by pathogens. For the project, researchers looked at 2,153 foodborne outbreaks ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
