Researchers discovered that clearing out certain digestive bacteria with antibiotics helps calm the immune system. This temporary microbial shift protected mice from severe brain swelling and cellular ...

When a bacterium becomes resistant to one antibiotic, it may sometimes become more sensitive to another. This biological side-effect offers an ...

In a cave in Romania, scientists found a bacterial strain entombed in ice that is resistant to 10 modern antibiotics. But it ...

Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

Ancient bacteria found frozen in cave resistant to 10 types of antibiotics - 5,000-year-old microorganism could add to the challenge of antibiotic resistance ...

Affecting roughly half a million Americans each year, bacterial infections caused by Clostridioides difficile—commonly known ...

Biochemists at Caltech have identified how viruses have converged on a method for killing bacteria. The researchers have homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part ...

“Na⁺-NQR has long been a bit of a puzzle for researchers, because certain parts of the enzyme appeared to be too far apart to facilitate the electron transfer that’s critical for bacterial respiration ...

Antibiotics are medical marvels that have transformed once deadly bacterial infections into manageable conditions. But with a ...

A study led by researchers from the Infectious Diseases Service of the Bellvitge University Hospital (HUB), the Bellvitge ...

Indian scientists have helped overturn a 50-year-old model explaining how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging a foundational concept in molecular biology.
