Quick Test for Polluted Environments
The "Biotool" project seeks to use bacterial marker molecules for predictions   view more (2005-01-18)

Helicobacter pylori - the key behind its recognition is somewhere else
The first step against infection is the detection of microorganisms capable of causing disease. This is done through the recognition of molecular structures not shared by the host, but also present in other harmless or even useful microbes. A question that has puzzled scientists for many years is... view more (2004-10-29)

Chronic HIV-1 infection frequently fails to protect against superinfection
Natural HIV-1 infection does not always elicit a protective immune response, according to a new study published November 16 in PLoS Pathogens.   view more (2007-11-16)

Study aims to cut deaths from severe infection in hospital wards

OHSU eye doctor says laser surgery safer than contacts
Traditional assumptions have held that contact lenses are safer than laser surgery to correct vision problems.   view more (2006-10-10)

Protein research could lead to new meningitis vaccine
New technology is leading to a vaccine against Group B Streptococci (GBS), a common cause of meningitis as well as a frequent cause of pneumonia in newborns. Key proteins have been found that can kick-start the immune system to fight these bacteria, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at... view more (2002-04-03)

UCR-led study identifies crucial mechanism involved in immune response against viruses
A research team led by UC Riverside scientists has shown that the common fruit fly can serve as an excellent model for studying the immunity animals are born with for fighting viral infections.   view more (2006-03-24)

Virus product could kill anthrax and beat antibiotic resistance
Researchers from Rockefeller University, New York, have developed a new way of killing dangerous bacteria like the ones which cause anthrax and pneumonia, using products from a virus, according to new research presented today (Tuesday, 07 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's... view more (2004-08-23)

Chronic fatigue syndrome linked to stomach virus
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME (myalgic encephalitis), is linked to a stomach virus, suggests research published ahead of print in Journal of Clinical Pathology.   view more (2007-09-14)

Ashwell receptor reduces mortality during sepsis
In research that solves the longest-standing mystery in glycobiology - a field that studies complex sugar chains called glycans - researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that a molecule in the liver of all animals, called the Ashwell receptor, is... view more (2008-05-19)

Scientists discover toxin that causes gastro disease
Australian scientists have identified a highly potent toxin that causes severe gastrointestinal illnesses, including food poisoning.   view more (2006-10-11)

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... view more (2002-05-22)

Yale study explains complex infection fighting mechanism
Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Nature Immunology how infection fighting mechanisms in the body can distinguish between a virus and the healthy body, shedding new light on auto immune disorders.   view more (2006-01-11)

Researchers Find That Cattle Tuberculosis Remains in Fields For Up to 4 Months
Researchers from the University of Warwick's Department of Biological Sciences have found evidence that bovine tuberculosis remains in fields for up to 4 months. This means that long after an outbreak of bovine TB on a farm healthy cattle may still be exposed to the disease from pasture that had... view more (2002-04-19)

New paper sheds light on bacterial cell wall recycling
A new paper by a team of researchers led by Shahriar Mobashery, Navari Family Professor of Life Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, provides important new insights into the process by which bacteria recycle their cell wall.   view more (2008-09-09)

Bacteria, beware: New finding about E coli could block infections, lead to better treatments
A newly discovered receptor in a strain of Escherichia coli can be blocked to avert infection, a finding that might aid in developing better therapies to treat bacterial infections resulting in food poisoning, diarrhea or plague.   view more (2006-06-27)

New study shows health benefits of probiotic could extend to the entire body
Data from a recent study demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and pathogen protection benefits of Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 a probiotic bacterial strain of human origin.   view more (2008-08-25)

Mayo Clinic researchers challenge sepsis theory
A Mayo Clinic research team has challenged the accepted theory on the cause of sepsis - a condition in which the body's cells generate fever, shock and often death.   view more (2006-02-08)

Chicken pox vaccination should be introduced for children in the UK
The only realistic way of preventing deaths and severe complications arising from chickenpox is to routinely vaccinate children against the disease, concludes research published ahead of print in Archives of Disease in Childhood.   view more (2007-11-12)

Do bacterial combinations result in enhanced cytokine production? No!
Probiotic bacteria, defined as living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on human health, have been used for the prevention and treatment of a diverse range of disorders.   view more (2008-03-18)

Scientists identify a septic shock susceptibility gene
Septic shock often follows a bacterial infection, and is characterized by the overwhelming release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by the body's immune system.   view more (2006-11-03)

Antibiotic Resistance Could Increase Rates Of UK Gonorrhoea Infection (p 1867)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET are calling for UK gonorrhoea treatment guidelines to be revised in light of new evidence showing a steep increase in antibiotic resistance. After chlamydia, gonorrhoea is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI)... view more (2003-05-28)

No link between multiple childhood vaccinations and hospitalization for nontargeted diseases
New research does not support a belief that children receiving multiple vaccines increase their risk of hospitalization for a nontargeted infectious disease, according to a study in the August 10 issue of JAMA.   view more (2005-08-10)
