Pitt-led Researchers Find Source of Drug-Tolerant Tuberculosis Possibly Behind TB Relapses, Intensity of Treatment
University of Pittsburgh-led researchers discovered that the primary bacteria behind tuberculosis can grow on surfaces and that drug-tolerant strains flourish in these bacterial communities, the research team recently reported in "Molecular Microbiology." view more (2008-06-12)
New treatment for food poisoning
A team of researchers working at the University of Bristol has found a potential new treatment for listeriosis, a deadly form of food poisoning. view more (2006-05-12)
Study finds multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria high in long-term care
The prevalence of a certain form of drug-resistant bacteria, called multidrug-resistant gram-negative (MDRGN) organisms, far surpassed that of two other common antimicrobial-resistant infections in long-term care facilities, according to a study conducted by researchers at Hebrew SeniorLife's Institute for Aging Research. view more (2009-04-10)
Salivary bacteria as indicators of oral cancer?
Patients suffering from oral cancer have increased levels of certain bacteria in their saliva, according to new research published today in the Open Access journal, Journal of Translational Medicine. view more (2005-07-07)
Color-coded bacteria can spot oil spills or leaky pipes and storage tanks
Oil spills and other environmental pollution, including low level leaks from underground pipes and storage tanks, could be quickly and easily spotted in the future using colour coded bacteria. view more (2008-09-11)
Researchers identify mechanism that helps bacteria avoid destruction in cells
Infectious diseases currently cause about one-third of all human deaths worldwide, more than all forms of cancer combined. Advances in cell biology and microbial genetics have greatly enhanced understanding of the cause and mechanisms of infectious diseases. view more (2009-10-12)
UIC scientists discover how some bacteria survive antibiotics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered how some bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment by turning on resistance mechanisms when exposed to the drugs. The findings, published in the April 24 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, could lead to more effective antibiotics to treat a variety of infections. view more (2008-05-01)
hus the bile does not overflow
A consequence of the different cancers of the hepatobiliary system is blocked bile ducts. However, artificial catheters known as "stents" can remediate this problem. view more (2009-05-11)
Wine-making waste: a natural weapon to beat bacteria
Grape pomace extract can be used as an effective anti-microbial agent to destroy pathogens and help preserve food, according to new research by Turkish scientists published in the Journal of Science of Food and Agriculture. Grape pomace Pomace consists of grape seeds, skin and stems, and is a rich source of polyphenols. Phenolic substances are... view more... (2004-08-18)
Pets could be source of multiresistant bacteria infections in humans, MU researchers investigate
The next time you have difficulty fighting a bacterial infection, your next trip to the doctor might be to the family veterinarian. view more (2007-08-01)
Researchers uncover E. coli's defense mechanism
The pathogenic forms of E. coli and Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans through undercooked meat, unwashed vegetables and cross contamination from surfaces on which these foods were prepared. view more (2005-09-29)
Don`t smoke while feeding the birds: new research on lung disease
Scientists are developing a method that could prevent lung infections in people who smoke, according to a paper presented today (Wednesday 18 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn meeting at Loughborough University. "We've used a human tissue model to show how we can prevent Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteria from... view more... (2002-08-28)
Bacteria control how infectious they become, study finds
The results of a new study suggest that bacteria that cause diseases like bubonic plague and serious gastric illness can turn the genes that make them infectious on or off. view more (2007-04-13)
STUDY HIGHLIGHTS SUCCESS OF MENINGITIS C VACCINATION PROGRAMME AMONG UK CHILDREN (p 1829)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET report how the introduction of a recent vaccination campaign in the UK has substantially reduced the potential for group C meningococcal infection among children. In the absence of effective vaccination programmes, meningococcal disease remains a major public-health problem worldwide.... view more... (2002-05-22)
Scientists identify specific enzymes that make meningitis hard to fight
Two enzymes in meningitis bacteria which prevent the body from successfully fighting off the disease, and make the infection extremely virulent, have been identified in new research published today. view more (2007-02-23)
Too much technology may be killing beneficial bacteria
Too much of a good thing could be harmful to the environment. For years, scientists have known about silver's ability to kill harmful bacteria and, recently, have used this knowledge to create consumer products containing silver nanoparticles. view more (2008-04-30)
Food source threatened by carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide increasing in the atmosphere may affect the microbial life in the sea, which could have an impact on a major food source, warned Dr Ian Joint at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
Gene discovery suggests that plant breeders may be able to produce nitrogen-fixing crops more easily than previously thought.
Scientists at the Sainsbury Laboratory (SL)[1], Norwich, have today reported the discovery of a plant gene that is essential in controlling the interactions between plants and microorganisms that enable them to establish intimate associations, which are of benefit to both partners. Published in the international science journal Nature, the... view more... (2002-06-26)
First step to converting solar energy using 'artificial leaf'
An international team of researchers has modified chlorophyll from an alga so that it resembles the extremely efficient light antennae of bacteria. view more (2009-06-30)
Scientists up the ante in war against "superbugs"
Scientists have discovered a weakness in tuberculosis-causing "superbugs" which could help doctors fight the emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, says Dr Jim Naismith speaking at the BA Festival of Science at the University of Glasgow today [3rd Spetember 2001]. Tuberculosis (TB) affects more than 50 million people worldwide.... view more... (2001-08-30)
