Scientists have designed nanoagents that act like smart drug-delivery capsules—carrying an antibiotic deep into bacterial ...

Many bacteria form an antibiotic-resistant slime. Research detailing that slime's structure could help lead to new treatments. Many bacteria form an antibiotic-resistant slime. Research detailing that ...

Biofilms are a ubiquitous, resilient form of microbial life. They can form where liquids and solids meet, like around a knee replacement; where air and liquid meet, like in the lungs; and where oil ...

Imagine a group of bacteria teaming up like a gang, creating a fortress around them. This is essentially what bacterial biofilms are – a tough, sticky barrier that makes them incredibly difficult to ...

Researchers revealed the atomic-level mechanism bacteria like A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa use to build ...

New ‘nanoagents’ can carry drugs straight to infected areas with minimal amounts of drug - reducing the risks of antibiotic resistance.

If you could see a piece of celery that’s been magnified 10,000 times, you’d know what the scientists fighting foodborne pathogens are up against, said University of Illinois microbiologist Hans ...

Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae are tiny bacteria typically known to cause lung infections. But now, a group of scientists have turned them into double agents. Genetically engineered Mycoplasma helped break ...

Compared to previous theories, the current research emphasizes the complexity of the biological and chemical processes that brought about life.
