Sugars contained exclusively in breast milk are helping to feed an important balance of bacteria in babies' developing gut ...
Judith Behnsen studies the interactions among commensal microbes, pathogens, and the host immune system to understand the ...
Avi Flamholz leverages computational tools and microbial biochemistry to improve climate models and provide novel engineering ...
Even when bacteria appear susceptible in routine tests, tolerance can let them survive therapy long enough to drive ...
The researchers stumbled upon the pathogen by accident, but decided to dig into its genome due to its recent resurgence.
The gut microbiome influences numerous physiological processes. Researchers at the University of Vienna have now demonstrated for the first time ...
What physical processes govern the movement of microscopic structures capable of interacting with their environment? The answer lies in two mechanisms: self-propulsion, to escape unfavorable locations ...
Researchers at DTU have developed a new method that can reduce the time needed to find new bacteria for fermentation. They have now identified a ...
Real-world evidence study carried out in Spain demonstrates 68% clinical cure rate at day 14, and 83% overall survival at day 28, for patients infected with highly resistant metallo-beta lactamase ...
When we think of drought, we tend to think of consequences we can see—wildfires, hose bans, taps that run dry and crops that fail. But it turns out drought can have a damaging effect even on the ...
Now MIT researchers have taken an important first step toward understanding how bacteria work together to break down plastic. In a new paper published in Environmental Science & Technology, the ...
The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by ...
