Antibiotic resistant bacteria frequently transmitted between intensive care patients
Bacteria with resistance to multiple antibiotics will become more common in intensive care units unless hospitals improve their hygiene standards. Research published in Critical Care this week shows that there is an "unexpectedly high" level of transmission of bacteria between intensive care patients. view more (2003-12-18)

Bacterial spread all down to chance: some strains 'just the lucky ones'
Scientists have discovered that factors such as human immunity and drug resistance are less important to the success of bacterial spread than previously thought. view more (2005-02-03)
Institute of Food Research in 2001
The social impact of food safety; genetic control of bacterial virulence; fish oils, cells and suicide; understanding food texture for improved functionality and enjoyment; these are some of the areas covered in Institute of Food Research's annual report, published today. Highlights from the past year and plans for the future are detailed in the... view more... (2001-05-31)
Risk factors identified for hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis
Researchers have identified several risk factors that are associated with the development of hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis. view more (2006-09-19)
Uncultured bacteria found in amniotic fluids of women who experience preterm births
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and Yale University have made a significant advancement in understanding the cause behind why some pregnant women suffer from inflammations in the inner womb without any signs of an infection. view more (2009-01-05)
UBC researchers identify key behavior of immune response to Listeria
A team of University of British Columbia microbiologists has identified a key defence mechanism used by the immune system against Listeria with strong implications for the future development of vaccines. view more (2009-10-06)
Lack of a key enzyme dramatically increases resistance to sepsis
According to the new study, the presence of caspase-12, which appears to modulate inflammation and innate immunity in humans, increases the body's "vulnerability to bacterial infection and septic shock" while a deficiency confers strong resistance to sepsis. view more (2006-04-24)
Viral protein is an effective preventative against infection
For parents, 8 million cases of acute middle ear infections every year add up to a lot of sleepless nights and trips to the pediatrician. But new research from a collaboration between Rockefeller University and St. Jude Children's Hospital could change all that. view more (2007-03-23)
Drug resistance may travel same path as quorum sensing
The cellular "pumps" associated with multi-drug resistance in bacteria may also be involved in exporting signals responsible for cell-cell communication, a process known as quorum sensing. view more (2006-02-07)
Phico Therapeutics secures £550,000 for Anti-Bacterial to target MRSA
Phico Therapeutics Ltd, a Cambridge-based company that has developed a unique anti-bacterial technology to treat the hospital superbug, MRSA, has raised £550,000 with the help of Oxfordshire Investment Opportunity Network (OION), Europe's leading technology business angel network. Phico's anti-bacterial technology, known as SASPject, is... view more... (2004-09-05)
How manuka honey helps fight infection
Manuka honey may kill bacteria by destroying key bacterial proteins. Dr Rowena Jenkins and colleagues from the University of Wales Institute - Cardiff investigated the mechanisms of manuka honey action and found that its anti-bacterial properties were not due solely to the sugars present in the honey. view more (2009-09-08)
A THIRD OF CHILDHOOD BACTERIAL MENINGITIS CASES COULD BE MISSED IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA (p 1753)
Limited resources, which prevents the measurement of microbiological markers, could mean that around a third of cases of acute childhood bacterial meningitis are not diagnosed in sub-Saharan Africa, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis in children is difficult in sub-Saharan... view more... (2001-05-31)
What effect does melatonin have in colitis?
In rats with experimental colitis, the marked increase in bacterial translocation in postcolitis rats has been reversed by melatonin administration. This is due to melatonin's anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects. view more (2008-03-18)
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... view more...

Biomarker reduces length of antibiotic treatment
For hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), lower measurements of procalcitonin, a biomarker of infection, can reduce the length of antibiotic treatment by an average of seven days. view more (2006-06-30)
Markers found for bacterial vaginosis
Findings reported in this week's New England Journal of Medicine (November 3 issue) highlight promising findings from two Seattle-based researchers on the origins of bacterial vaginosis (BV). view more (2005-11-08)
Antibiotics alter the normal bacterial flora in humans
Microbes researchers highlight drawbacks of antibiotics Antibiotics alter the normal bacterial flora in humans Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics can live in the human intestines for at least one year. Professor Charlotta Edlund from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, and Research Professor Pentti Huovinen from the National... view more... (2004-03-17)
Synthetic peptoids hold forth promise for new antibiotics
Drug-resistant bacterial infections are a growing concern, and much research has been devoted to finding new classes of antibiotics to fight them. view more (2008-03-10)
New proteomic method to detect inflammation in amniotic fluid
A score that measures the proteomic profile of amniotic fluid may predict inflammation before delivery. Researchers from Yale University, led by Catalin Buhimschi, have previously identified a set of four protein markers that were closely associated with inflammation in the amniotic fluid. view more (2007-01-16)
