Microfluidic biosensing technologies enable swift identification of pathogenic bacteria, crucial for timely intervention in ...

Pathogenicity is the potential capacity of certain species of microbes to cause an infectious process. It is characterised by a complex of pathogenic properties in the microbe formed in the process of ...

Bacteria in food can make you seriously ill, which is why it is so important for the facilities that produce your food to ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig ...

Endemic and emerging infectious diseases caused by microbial pathogens pose a considerable threat to human and animal health worldwide 1,2,3,4,5. At the molecular level, pathogen evolution, ...

In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they had identified ...

Phylogenies show how organisms are related to each other by placing them in an ordered map of them and their relatives. These can be done on a large scale, such as the tree of life, or on a smaller ...

Humans have long had a love-hate relationship with bacteria. While there are bacterial strains that humans cannot live without, such as those that help us digest our food and bolster our immune ...

A pathogen is a term that refers to a microorganism that causes disease in an organism. Pathogenicity is the ability of the pathogen to produce disease. Pathogenicity is expressed by microbes using ...

Gram-positive bacteria have thick cell walls. A Gram stain test, which involves a chemical dye, stains the bacterium’s cell wall purple. On the other hand, gram-negative bacteria stain pink instead.
