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)
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)
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 been used by infected cows any time in the previous... view more...

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)
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 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)
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)
Modified crops reveal hidden cost of resistance
Genetically modified squash plants that are resistant to a debilitating viral disease become more vulnerable to a fatal bacterial infection, according to biologists. view more (2009-10-27)
Columbia team finds that gastrin plays significant role in helicobacter-induced stomach cancer
A group led by Columbia University Medical Center's Timothy Wang, M.D., has studied the role of Helicobacter infection in the development of stomach cancer and found that the hormone gastrin, which stimulates secretion of gastric acid, plays a key role in the development of Helicobacter-induced stomach cancer, and may have distinct effects on... view more...

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)
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)
Online collaboration identifies bacteria
A new website has been launched which allows scientists everywhere to collaborate on the identification of bacterial strains. This new resource, described in the open access journal BMC Biology, provides a portal for electronic bacterial taxonomy. view more (2009-02-19)
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) in the UK. The symptoms include pain when passing... 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)
NYU dental researchers find link between C-section delivery and higher risk of cavities in newborns

Bacillus thuringiensis - Bacterial Insecticide
Microbiologists in Europe have played a major role in developing the Bacillus thuringiensis story, as they have in many areas of research. FEMS, The Federation of European Microbiological Societies, is now embarking on a series of major European Congresses bringing together scientists from all parts of Europe and providing a forum for the... view more...
