Counting semi-viable bacteria in cheese
The Wageningen researcher Christine Bunthof has developed a direct method for counting bacteria in dairy products. The method not only distinguishes viable and non-viable bacteria but also semi-viable bacteria. These are too weak to divide, but still exhibit activity. The semi-viable bacteria play an important role in cheese ripening and therefore influence the taste. With the new counting... View More (2002-05-23)
Insects cultivate 'antibiotic-producing bacteria' in their antennae
Bacteria live in, on and around us and other organisms with sometimes very beneficial results. For the first time scientists have shown that one species of insect deliberately cultivates bacteria in its antennae in order to protect their larvae from fungal attack. View More (2007-04-02)
New plastic-like materials may say 'shhhh' to hush disease-causing microbes
Scientists are reporting success in a first attempt to silence the biochemical conversations that disease-causing bacteria use to marshal their forces and cause infections. View More (2010-05-13)
A chunky metabolism
Many bacteria break their metabolic processes into chunks. That may be logically tidy, but it's often metabolically inefficient. Researchers have now figured out the factors that tend to make bacteria more modular. View More (2008-05-30)
'Jekyll and Hyde' bacteria offer pest control hope
New research at York has revealed so-called 'Jekyll and Hyde' bacteria, suggesting a novel way to control insect pests without using insecticides. View More (2007-12-20)
Dust storms may carry bacteria to Japan from China
Bacteria found in soil around Tokyo are not indigenous to the area. A study published in the open access journal Saline Systems reveals a large proportion of salt-loving bacteria in non-saline soil around Tokyo. The researchers suggest that dust storms may have carried the bacteria from their natural habitats in China. View More (2005-10-20)
The structure of resistance
A team of scientists from the University Paris Descartes has solved the structure of two proteins that allow bacteria to gain resistance to multiple types of antibiotics, according to a report in EMBO reports this month. View More (2008-02-25)
How Bacteria get into Brains to Cause Meningitis
An international collaboration between medical researchers may have identified how meningitis causing bacteria cross from the blood into the brain, paving the way for new strategies to prevent this fatal disease, the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh heard today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. "Almost every known bacteria which attacks people could potentially cause... View More (2003-04-02)
Guidelines needed to prevent spread of infection in European hospitals
National and European guidelines to control the spread of vancomycin resistant enterococci should be drawn up before these bacteria become endemic in European hospitals, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Vancomycin resistant bacteria have a low virulence but can cause serious infections in transplant patients or those in intensive care units. Infections are becoming increasingly common in...

Drug resistant hospital bugs also learning to beat disinfectant, say scientists
Dangerous multi-drug-resistant bacteria are also developing immunity to hospital disinfectants and antiseptics, according to new research presented today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. View More (2004-08-23)
Researchers unlock the secret of bacteria's immune system
A team of Université Laval and Danisco researchers has just unlocked the secret of bacteria's immune system. View More (2010-11-05)
Backstabbing bacteria: A new treatment for infection?
Selfish bacterial cells that act in their own interests and do not cooperate with their infection-causing colleagues can actually reduce the severity of infection. View More (2010-09-07)
Older, cheaper vacuum cleaners release more bacteria and dust
Some vacuum cleaners - those basic tools for maintaining a clean indoor environment in homes and offices - actually contribute to indoor air pollution by releasing into the air bacteria and dust that can spread infections and trigger allergies. View More (2012-01-05)
Antibiotic Resistance and Gene Transfer
The way antibiotic resistance spreads and possible problems from genes transferring have been identified by researchers from the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, in new evidence about the way genes pass from one bacterium to another. The research is presented today, Monday 7 April 2003, by Dr Karen Scott at the Society for General Microbiology's Annual Meeting in Edinburgh. View More (2003-04-02)
Army-funded technology detects bacteria in water
To keep soldiers in the battlefield healthy, the U.S. Army is exploring new ways to detect harmful bacteria in water. View More (2010-11-11)
Contact killing of Salmonella Typhimurium by human faecal bacteria
Our gut is home to trillions of bacteria, numbering more than the cells in the rest of our body, and these bacteria help us to digest our food, absorb nutrients and strengthen our immune system. View More (2013-04-24)
Powerful mold-inhibiting bacteria patented
Bacteria that produce lactic acid have been used for thousands of years to preserve food. Some lactic acid bacteria also produce several other mold-inhibiting substances and are therefore of special interest to agriculture and the foodstuffs industry. This is demonstrated in a dissertation by Jörgen Sjögren from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU. One of the bacteria... View More (2005-04-08)
Thuricin CD tested as specific antibiotic for Clostridium difficile
A University of Alberta researcher is part of an international team that has discovered a naturally occurring micro-organism that directly targets a bacteria that causes a sometimes deadly intestinal disease in young children and the elderly. View More (2010-05-03)
Researchers Say Battle MRSA Bacteria in Hospitals By Flooding Hospitals with Viruses
Researchers at the University of Warwick are proposing battling the problem of the so called super bug MRSA Bacteria contamination in Hospitals by filling hospitals with viruses. The virus they have in mind however is a "bacteriophage" one that specifically targets and kills the bacteria. Until recently much current work in phage therapy focuses on the application of lytic...

Dormant TB beats our best drugs
New knowledge about the way tuberculosis-causing bacteria can survive in a dormant state for years in our bodies could pave the way for treatments that will finally wipe out this dread disease, experts heard today (Monday 10 September 2001) at the bi-annual meeting of the Society of General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. US government medical researcher Dr Lawrence Wayne of the... View More (2001-08-31)
