Researchers have developed a targeted approach to combat periodontitis without disrupting the natural balance of the oral ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Researchers discovered that clearing out certain digestive bacteria with antibiotics helps calm the immune system. This temporary microbial shift protected mice from severe brain swelling and cellular ...

Scientists have uncovered an elegant biophysical trick that tuberculosis-causing bacteria use to survive inside human cells, a discovery that could lead to new strategies for fighting one of the world ...

Researchers are engineering bacteria to invade tumors and consume them from the inside. Because tumor cores lack oxygen, they ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

Pathogenic bacteria have evolved a variety of mechanisms to thrive within their hosts, even in the face of antibiotic treatment. One particularly effective strategy is the expression of membrane ...
