Recalcitrant infections are often caused by dormant bacteria, including persisters and viable but nonculturable cells. Here, the authors explore how composition and structure of protein ...

Mono Lake, nestled in California’s Eastern Sierra Nevada, is a haven for unique life forms. Its iconic tufa formations and thriving populations of brine shrimp and alkali flies showcase an ecosystem ...

The epigenetic changes induced by the translocated gut bacteria generate "trained" immune cells primed to respond more efficiently to future infections. However, this same ability to amplify the ...

Tests on the "mysterious balls" which led to the closure of several Australian beaches last week have revealed they were made up partially of faecal bacteria. Nine beaches in Sydney were closed by ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Ernest Pharmaceuticals is preparing to begin clinical trials of a new cancer treatment using non-toxic bacteria to deliver drugs ...

But we couldn’t control exactly when that was happening so there were risks associated with invading healthy cells, as well as pre-mature clearance of the bacteria before they colonize tumors, and we ...

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other ...

Early on in the research, the scientists discovered that it was the bacterial flagella – part of the cell that aids in movement – that enables the bacteria to invade cancer cells. So they ...
