To see how microgravity changes certain microbes, researchers sent bacteria-infecting viruses called bacteriophages to the ...

Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together as germs, and they share many characteristics. They’re invisible to the human eye. They’re everywhere. And both can make us sick. Bacteria and viruses ...

Bacteriophage T7, a virus that preys on E. coli, becomes a more effective killer after spending time aboard the International Space Station, according to new research from University of ...

At Empa, an interdisciplinary research institute for materials science and technology within the ETH Domain, researchers are ...

When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way they do on Earth. In microgravity, infections still occurred, but both ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have built a cancer therapy that makes bacteria and viruses work as a team. In a study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the Synthetic Biological ...

Variant identified in Kent can cause long-term complications and prove fatal if not caught early with antibiotics ...

In an early animal test, a new nasal-spray vaccine has shown promise against a variety of germs and a common allergen, ...

Scientists found a virus hidden in gut bacteria that may double colorectal cancer risk, according to a new study. Here, an oncologist explains the findings.

An oncologist explains the findings.

The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by ...

Researchers engineered bacteria to deliver hidden viruses into tumors, bypassing the immune system and unleashing a new strategy for targeted cancer treatment. The new platform combines the bacteria’s ...
