The enzyme Na⁺-NQR is a sodium pump that drives the respiration of many marine and pathogenic bacteria. Using redox reactions ...

A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical ...

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 ...

Aquaculture is critical for feeding a hungry planet, but it does not need to be as reckless as it is today.

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 ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications , describe ...

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly “sense” their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can ...

Though often mild, urinary tract infections can reach the bloodstream, leading to serious complications. Research also links diet and microbiome interactions with UTI susceptibility and recurrence.

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...
