UCSD team unmasks family of immune system invaders
Like a family of petty criminals gone wrong, researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) were surprised to find that bacterial pathogens found in a number of troublesome diseases are actually related. view more (2006-01-13)
Small molecule triggers bacterial community
While bacterial cells tend to be rather solitary individuals, they are also known to form intricately structured communities called biofilms. view more (2008-12-23)
Study shows most ear infections host both bacteria and viruses
Ear infections are among the most common diseases seen in pediatric practice. They have generally been considered bacterial diseases and are therefore usually treated with antibiotics. view more (2006-11-07)
Texas A&M Researchers Examine How Viruses Destroy Bacteria
Viruses are well known for attacking humans and animals, but some viruses instead attack bacteria. Texas A&M University researchers are exploring how hungry viruses, armed with transformer-like weapons, attack bacteria, which may aid in the treatment of bacterial infections. view more (2009-11-19)
Fish slime crock of gold at end of rainbow
The slippery mucus on the skin of rainbow trout is being studied by scientists as a possible source of new medicines to fight infectious diseases, according to research presented today (Monday, 06 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. view more (2004-08-23)
Gut bacteria can manufacture defenses against cancer and inflammatory bowel disease
Bacteria naturally present in the human gut could produce substances that help to protect against colon cancer and provide therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. In a paper published in the journal Microbiology, researchers from the University of Aberdeen Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health and from the MTT Agrifood Research Institute in... view more...

Improvement of the treatments against brucellosis and ovine salmonella
Maite Estevan Muguerza, a researcher of the University of Navarra, has improved existing treatments against brucellosis and sheep salmonella, by applying, in her doctoral thesis, techniques of micro- and nano-technology which permit the encapsulation of vaccines. view more (2006-05-08)
Plain soap as effective as antibacterial but without the risk
Antibacterial soaps show no health benefits over plain soaps and, in fact, may render some common antibiotics less effective, says a University of Michigan public health professor. view more (2007-08-16)
Bacteria Play Role in Preventing Spread of Malaria
Bacteria in the gut of the Anopheles gambiae mosquito inhibit infection of the insect with Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria in humans, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2009-05-11)
Bacterial slime helps cause serious disease
Leptospirosis is a serious but neglected emerging disease that infects humans through contaminated water. Now research published in the May issue of the journal Microbiology shows for the first time how bacteria that cause the disease survive in the environment. view more (2008-05-05)
Physiological Effects of Reduced Gravity on Bacteria
An article in Journal of Applied Microbiology investigates how bacteria respond when they are subjected to environmental alterations, such as those of space stations, which feature lowered effects of gravity. view more (2005-03-10)
Bacteria research offers hope for new vaccine against meningococci
Each year 170,000 people around the world die of this type of meningitis, according to the World Health Organization, WHO. Bacterial meningitis, as the disease is called, can even spark epidemics: in Africa 250,000 people were affected in a matter of weeks in the late 1990s. view more (2007-02-21)
OHSU study says stem cell 'fusion' occurs in tumors
An Oregon Health & Science University study is adding credence to an increasingly popular theory that fusion is what bonds stem cells with bone marrow cells to regenerate organ tissue. view more (2006-05-10)
May inflammatory bowel disease mimic gynecological disorders in its clinical presentation
Endometriosis is a condition of unknown etiology in which endometrial tissue occurs at extra-uterine sites, including ovaries, fallopian tubes, and gastrointestinal tract. view more (2008-02-25)
'Invisible' bacteria dupe the human immune system
Scientists at the University of York have characterised an important new step in the mechanism used by bacteria to evade our immune system. view more (2008-02-20)
Probiotics, mentioned on the labels of food products, often cannot be detected in the food.
In the course of a PhD research, fifty-five European probiotic products were screened for the identity and quantity of the bacterial strains included in these products. A probiotic is a living microorganism (bacteria or yeast) that upon intake, improves the health of the host by means of a number of positive effects in that host. These... view more... (2001-05-18)
