Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

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

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of ...

Are all bacterial cells in a group alike? It doesn't seem so. A population of bacterial cells may be heteroresistant, which is to say that some may be able to evade the effects of antibiotics, while ...

The microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract can have a significant influence on human health and disease, and this gut microbiome has been associated with a wide array of characteristics and ...

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

Bacterial lipoproteins are essential components of the cell envelope, serving diverse roles that range from maintaining membrane integrity to mediating virulence and antibiotic resistance. These ...

A new study finds that a trait helping a marine bacterium survive and flourish today may ultimately become its Achilles Heel as ocean conditions continue to shift.

UNDATED (WKRC) - Scientists said they developed a way to learn where an individual has been based on their bacterial "fingerprint". A new study from Lund University published in Genome Biology and ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.
