Bacteria from sponges make new pharmaceuticals
Thousands of interesting new compounds have been discovered inside the bodies of marine sponges. View More (2007-09-04)
Genes that make bacteria make up their minds
Bacteria are single cell organisms with no nervous system or brain. So how do individual bacterial cells living as part of a complex community called a biofilm "decide" between different physiological processes (such as movement or producing the "glue" that forms the biofilm)?

Functional foods offer hope for fighting infections
Upset stomachs and gut diseases are a common problem amongst our increasingly elderly population, but now help may be on hand using friendly bacteria isolated from the intestines of healthy elderly individuals, according to scientists speaking today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin.

Peas and beans get by with more than a little help from friends
The relationship between leguminous plants such as peas and beans and nitrogen-fixing bacteria is even closer than previously thought, with bacteria acting like an intrinsic part of the plant, according to research published in the journal Nature today. Researchers from the University of Reading and the John Innes Centre, Norwich, have found that nitrogen-fixing bacteria provide more than just a... View More (2003-04-14)
'Last resort' antibiotics increasingly used to fight multidrug-resistant bugs
Multidrug-resistant pathogens are becoming more frequent, and the few "last resort" treatments available for infections with these bacteria have also shown an increase in use in recent years. View More (2012-05-17)
Small molecule inhibitor of cholera discovered
Just as hurricanes in the Gulf states and Guatemala have raised the risks of cholera outbreaks, researchers at Harvard Medical School have identified a new type of antibiotic against the cholera bacteria. View More (2005-10-17)
Fuel-eating bacteria
The sinking of the Prestige and the resulting leakage of petroleum oil, just over a year ago, provoked a real catastrophe. A significant number of research groups were prompted to set to work to clean up the remains of this oil slick. One year after, the first results of those researches are being known. They want to use bacteria that eat petroleum oil, extracted from the proper petroleum oil. View More (2004-02-11)
Enzyme necessary for DNA synthesis can also erase DNA
In this week's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, PNAS, Uppsala University scientists describe a new mechanism behind an important process that causes a rapid reduction of DNA in the chromosomes of bacteria. View More (2009-06-09)
Bacteria-immune system 'fight' can lead to chronic diseases, study suggests
Results from a study conducted at Georgia State University suggest that a "fight" between bacteria normally living in the intestines and the immune system, kicked off by another type of bacteria, may be linked to two types of chronic disease. View More (2012-08-03)
Certain mouth bacteria signal pancreatic cancer
Particular types of mouth bacteria, some of which are found in gum disease, are associated with the development of pancreatic cancer, indicates a small study published online in the journal Gut. View More (2011-10-13)
Antibiotic resistance in farm animals
Pigs and other farm animals are harbouring major reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to research presented today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting in Trinity College Dublin, by researchers from the University of Leeds. View More (2004-08-23)
New way to tap largest remaining treasure trove of potential new antibiotics
Scientists are reporting use of a new technology for sifting through the world's largest remaining pool of potential antibiotics to discover two new antibiotics that work against deadly resistant microbes, including the "super bugs" known as MRSA. View More (2012-02-23)
Agricultural antibiotic use contributes to 'super-bugs' in humans
Doctors have become increasingly concerned by the problem of "super-bugs"-bacteria that have become resistant to standard antibiotics. It is well known that a high rate of antibiotic prescribing in hospitals contributes to the emergence of drug resistant bacteria. View More (2005-07-05)
Making more efficient fuel cells
Bacteria that generate significant amounts of electricity could be used in microbial fuel cells to provide power in remote environments or to convert waste to electricity. View More (2009-09-08)
UC research discovers new way to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Research by a team at the University of Cincinnati (UC) has helped in the discovery of a new way to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria, responsible for preventing treatment of lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis and life-threatening cases of pneumonia. View More (2007-03-19)
Silicon May Have Been The Key To Start Of Life On Earth
A scientist at the University of Sheffield has discovered that silicon may have been key to the establishment of life on earth. Until now it has generally been thought that bacteria do not interact with silicon, but Dr Milton Wainwright and his team at the University's Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, has found that this is not the case. In a paper, due to be published in the... View More (2003-10-23)
Dental plaque: a breeding ground for antibiotic resistance
Gene swapping is taking place on your gums as the bacteria in dental plaque trade-up on newer antibiotic resistance genes, according to research presented today (Monday 16 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn meeting at Loughborough University. "We have found that many antibiotic resistance genes in oral bacteria are found on short, mobile pieces of DNA called... View More (2002-08-28)
THE BODY'S OVER REACTION TO GERMS IN RELATIONS TO SIDS
Research by, among others, Dr Caroline Blackwell of the University of Edinburgh's Department of Medical Microbiology suggests that many SIDS babies have been exposed to bacteria that can cause the body's natural defences to germs to 'over react'. View More (1999-03-16)
Better immune defense against anthrax
Scientists discover a gene in anthrax-causing bacteria may help defend against this form of bio-warfare. View More (2009-09-09)
E. coli bacteria more likely to develop resistance after exposure to low levels of antibiotics, reports a study in Microbial Drug Resistance
. coli bacteria exposed to three common antibiotics were more likely to develop antibiotic resistance following low-level antibiotic exposure than after exposure to high concentrations that would kill the bacteria or inhibit their growth, according to a timely article in Microbial Drug Resistance, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
