Microbiologists meet Scottish Parliament to discuss the environment
Environmental issues such as waste management, GM crops, energy and pollution dominate much of the work of the Scottish Parliament. MSPs will be able to find out about the latest research from scientists at this year's 'Science and the Parliament' event today, Wednesday, 12 November at The Signet Library, Edinburgh. Experts from the Society for... view more... (2003-11-07)
SULPHONAMIDE RESISTANCE REMAINS HIGH DESPITE PRESCRIBING RESTRICTION (pp 1307, 1325)
A substantial decrease in prescribing of sulphonamides in the UK over the past decade has failed to reduce resistance to this class of antibiotic drugs, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There is a clear link between heavy antimicrobial use and the emergence of resistant bacteria. Whether a reduction in antimicrobial... view more... (2001-04-25)
When intestinal bacteria go surfing
The bacterium Escherichia coli is part of the healthy human intestinal flora. However, E. coli also has pathogenic relatives that trigger diarrhea illnesses: enterohemorrhagic E.coli bacteria. During the course of an infection they infest the intestinal mucosa, causing injury in the process, in contrast to benign bacteria. view more (2009-03-19)
Massive reanalysis of genome data solves case of the lethal genes
It is better to be looked over than overlooked, Mae West supposedly said. These are words of wisdom for genome data-miners of today. view more (2007-10-19)
Scientists to assess risk to human health from use of farm slurry and manure
University of Southampton scientists are working with European and UK Government agencies to reduce the risk of potentially fatal food bugs, such as E. coli O517, entering the food and water chains. Human and animal waste is a valuable source of fertiliser particularly on organic farms. In the UK we recycle one million tonnes of human sewage... view more... (2001-07-09)
Research explores herbal treatment for recurring urinary tract infections
A common herbal extract available in health food stores can greatly reduce urinary tract infections and could potentially enhance the ability of antibiotics to kill the bacteria that cause 90 percent of infections in the bladder. view more (2007-04-09)
Rutgers Survey Examines Public Responses to the Recent Spinach Recall
Every year, the Food and Drug Administration issues dozens of food-related recalls, withdrawals and advisories. But few receive the attention that the advisory regarding E.coli-contaminated spinach received in September 2006. view more (2007-02-06)
Probiotic bacteria at weaning may help alleviate allergy in infants
“Friendly” bacteria (probiotics) given to babies during weaning may help alleviate the symptoms of eczema, suggests research in Gut. view more (2002-06-20)
Infection detectives use disease 'fingerprints' to track common infections in children
Infectious disease specialists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found a new method for identifying suspect viruses and bacteria that cause some of the most common acute infections in children. view more (2007-03-14)
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)
How Proteins Talk to Each Other
Investigators at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have identified novel cleavage sites for the enzyme caspase-3 (an enzyme that proteolytically cleaves target proteins). view more (2009-09-22)
Simple device can ensure food gets to the store bacteria free
A Purdue University researcher has found a way to eliminate bacteria in packaged foods such as spinach and tomatoes, a process that could eliminate worries concerning some food-borne illnesses. view more (2009-03-03)
New study shows that bacteria can communicate through the air
This month, Journal of Applied Microbiology publishes a ground-breaking study demonstrating that bacteria which are physically separated can transmit information through the air. It is well documented that bacteria can exchange messages by releasing substances into a surrounding liquid culture medium, but this new study is the first to demonstrate... view more... (2002-05-27)
Student scientists create living bacterial photographs
Using Petri dishes full of genetically engineered E. coli instead of photo paper, students at The University of Texas at Austin and UCSF successfully created the first-ever bacterial photographs. view more (2005-11-28)
Researchers find possible target to treat deadly bloodstream infections
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered a possible target to treat bloodstream bacterial infections. view more (2008-02-29)
Treatments for urinary infections leave bacteria bald, happy and vulnerable
A different approach to treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) could defeat the bacteria that cause the infections without directly killing them, a strategy that could help slow the growth of antibiotic-resistant infections. view more (2006-12-21)

Unpasteurized milk poses health risks without benefits
With disease outbreaks linked to unpasteurized milk rising in the United States, a review published in the January 1, 2009 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases examines the dangers of drinking raw milk. view more (2008-12-17)
"Suicide gene" injection shrinks cancer growth
Injectable "suicide gene" therapy may be a highly effective way of preventing colon cancer from spreading (metastasising), finds research in Gut. Human colon cancer carries a high risk of death because it is often not found in the early stages and readily spreads to the liver, but also the lungs and throughout the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). view more (2002-02-08)
