Area creek studied for rangeland effects on water quality
Elevated levels of bacteria in streams can affect water quality, the health of the aquatic ecosystem and activities such as fishing, swimming and wading, a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher said. view more (2006-10-25)
Politicians Must Listen To The Scientists Or We Face Diasaster
The University of Surrey's School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences held their 'Festival of Research' to celebrate the world class research success of the School, and to facilitate new collaborations on June 18. Amongst the speakers for the event was the renowned world authority on food safety, Professor Hugh Pennington, Professor of... view more... (2004-06-28)
Breaks in hibernation help fight bugs
A habit in some animals to periodically wake up while hibernating may be an evolutionary mechanism to fight bacterial infection, according to researchers at Penn State. view more (2006-08-17)
Transgenic goat's milk offers hope for tackling children's intestinal disease
It's hard to improve on milk, but animal scientists at the University of California, Davis, have found that milk produced by transgenic goats, which carry the gene for an antibacterial enzyme found in human breast milk, altered the intestinal bacteria in young goats and pigs that were fed the milk. view more (2006-08-07)
New finding points way to foiling anthrax's tricks
University of California, Berkeley, chemists have discovered a trick that anthrax bacteria use to make an end run around the body's defenses, but which may turn out to be their Achilles' heel. view more (2006-12-01)
Laser used to help fight root canal bacteria: ADA Journal
High-tech dental lasers used mainly to prepare cavities for restoration now can help eliminate bacteria in root canals, according to research published in the July issue of The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). view more (2007-07-13)
Breakthrough in combating the growing risk from E.coli food poisoning
Certain pathogenic strains of the E. coli bacteria appear to harpoon themselves into intestine lining cells in order to colonise large sections of the gut, say scientists at Imperial College in London. The researchers, reporting the breakthrough in the new edition of BBSRC Business today, hope that by understanding how the bacteria latches onto... view more... (2001-04-05)
Researcher hits bulls-eye for antibiotic target
A Purdue University researcher has opened the door for possible antibiotic treatments for a variety of diseases by determining the structure of a protein that controls the starvation response of E. coli. view more (2006-08-23)
Novel experiment documents evolution of genome in near-real time
A team led by bioengineering researchers at UC San Diego report in the November issue of Nature Genetics rapid evolutionary changes in a bacterial genome, observed in near-real time over a few days. view more (2006-11-06)
New insights into a leading poultry disease and its risks to human health
Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University associate research scientist Melha Mellata, a member of professor Roy Curtiss' team, is leading a USDA funded project to develop a vaccine against a leading poultry disease called avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC). view more (2009-01-27)
Tailor-made sugar coated proteins manufactured in novel E. coli system
The prospect of using bacteria to manufacture complex human proteins for use in therapeutic drugs is a step closer thanks to new research published today in Science. view more (2002-11-28)
Researchers Identify Biofilms That Cause Infection
Understanding the way bacterial cells "talk" to each other could lead to more effective methods for fighting the often persistent and serious infections caused by the biofilms they form, says a Texas A&M University professor of chemical engineering who not only has deciphered their language but also discovered how to quell their... view more...

Researchers uncover molecule that keeps pathogens like salmonella in check
Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found a potential new way to stop the bacteria that cause gastroenteritis, tularemia and severe diarrhea from making people sick. view more (2008-08-22)
Scientists equip bacteria with custom chemo-navigational system
Using an innovative method to control the movement of Escherichia coli in a chemical environment, Emory University scientists have opened the door to powerful new opportunities in drug delivery, environmental cleanup and synthetic biology. view more (2007-05-11)
Cheaper, potentially better disease treatments expected from faster approach to developing therapeutic antibodies
A method of mass-producing disease-fighting antibodies entirely within bacteria has been developed by a research group at The University of Texas at Austin. view more (2007-04-19)
Engineered protein effective against Staphylococcus aureus toxin
A research team led by the University of Illinois has developed a treatment for exposure to enterotoxin B, a noxious substance produced by the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. view more (2007-05-22)
Beyond genes: Lipid helps cell wall protein fold into proper shape
A protein that provides a vital passage through a bacterium's outer cell wall will misfold and malfunction if that wall is built of the 'wrong' material, scientists at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston report in a finding that has long-term implications for understanding diseases caused by misfolded proteins such as cystic... view more...

There's a speed limit to the pace of evolution, Penn biologists say
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a theoretical model that informs the understanding of evolution and determines how quickly an organism will evolve using a catalogue of "evolutionary speed limits." view more (2009-11-03)
Biotech breakthrough could end biodiesel's glycerin glut
With U.S. biodiesel production at an all-time high and a record number of new biodiesel plants under construction, the industry is facing an impending crisis over waste glycerin, the major byproduct of biodiesel production. view more (2007-06-27)
