Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has, for the first time, uncovered how E. coli bacteria sneak into the prostate. The study opens the door to potential new treatments for bacterial ...

Washington State University researchers have discovered how the bacteria that cause anaplasmosis and Lyme disease hijack cellular processes in ticks to ensure their survival and spread to new hosts, ...

By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D. A lung pathogen grows stronger in iron-rich environments, but at the cost of its own virulence, ...

Scientists reveal how bacteria switch direction through a microscopic tug-of-war inside their motors, driven by energy and mechanical forces.

Respiratory infections are among the leading causes of illness and death in the elderly, driven by immune aging, chronic ...
