Revolutionary approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease
Ghent scientists at VIB (the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology) are developing what could be a revolutionary new approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): dairy bacteria that produce a natural anti-inflammatory therapeutic substance in the intestine. The results of this research are being published this... view more... (2000-08-31)
Putting a stop to antibiotic resistance with new drugs from seaweed
Scientists have found a new way to prevent life-threatening infections not by killing the bacteria but by preventing them from talking to each other, according to research published today in the journal Microbiology. We`ve found that a group of chemicals called furanones can prevent the build up of communities of bacteria on surfaces such as... view more... (2001-12-21)
Red Wine and Grape Juice Help Defend Against Food-Borne Diseases, according to MU Researchers
Red wine is known to have multiple health benefits. Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia have found that red wine may also protect humans from common food-borne diseases. view more (2007-10-11)
Bacteria in disguise cause problems for cystic fibrosis sufferers
Bacteria that cause infections in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients avoid detection by changing their appearance according to Cardiff University researchers speaking today, Thursday 13 September 2001, at the bi-annual meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. "Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which... view more... (2001-08-31)
Fecal Microorganisms Inhabit Sandy Beaches of Florida
raditionally, the cleanliness of a beach is monitored by sampling the bathing water a few meters from shore. But since sand is an effective filter, it follows that fecal bacteria (those from sewage) may be concentrated in the sand as the tide flows and ebbs. Moreover, trapped bacteria are offered a large surface area for attachment, nourishment... view more... (2008-05-14)
Borrelia infection from a tick bite just as possible in a city centre park
The chances of getting a Borrelia infection from a tick bite are no different in a city centre park than they are out in the archipelago. This is one of the recent discoveries of Professor Matti Viljanen and his research team who are looking into how the Borrelia bacteria deceives and manipulates the human immune defence system. The research... view more... (2003-02-03)
Bacteria from sponges make new pharmaceuticals
Thousands of interesting new compounds have been discovered inside the bodies of marine sponges. view more (2007-09-04)
Genes that make bacteria make up their minds
Bacteria are single cell organisms with no nervous system or brain. So how do individual bacterial cells living as part of a complex community called a biofilm "decide" between different physiological processes (such as movement or producing the "glue" that forms the biofilm)? view more (2009-03-30)
Treating upset guts with bacteria
Scientists checking bacteria which live in the intestines of autistic children may have found a way to control gut problems, such as diarrhoea or constipation, without using antibiotics, according to work presented today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. view more (2004-08-23)
Functional foods offer hope for fighting infections
Upset stomachs and gut diseases are a common problem amongst our increasingly elderly population, but now help may be on hand using friendly bacteria isolated from the intestines of healthy elderly individuals, according to scientists speaking today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity... view more...

Method For Direct Treatment Of Intestinal Illnesses Wins Kaye Prize For Hebrew University Ph.D. Student
A method for applying drugs directly to mucousal surfaces in the intestinal system has won a coveted prize for a graduate student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The method has potential for providing better treatment for such diseases as ulcerative colitis and colon cancer. The student is Tareq Jubeh, 30, of Jerusalem, who is working on... view more...

Peas and beans get by with more than a little help from friends
The relationship between leguminous plants such as peas and beans and nitrogen-fixing bacteria is even closer than previously thought, with bacteria acting like an intrinsic part of the plant, according to research published in the journal Nature today. Researchers from the University of Reading and the John Innes Centre, Norwich, have found that... view more... (2003-04-14)
Serum bile acid profiling for inflammatory bowel disease characterization
Based on serum bank material, BA profiling was applied in IBD patients and healthy controls which showed that most but not all BA species were decreased to a different extent in CD and UC. view more (2009-07-16)
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...

Small molecule inhibitor of cholera discovered
Just as hurricanes in the Gulf states and Guatemala have raised the risks of cholera outbreaks, researchers at Harvard Medical School have identified a new type of antibiotic against the cholera bacteria. view more (2005-10-17)
Fuel-eating bacteria
The sinking of the Prestige and the resulting leakage of petroleum oil, just over a year ago, provoked a real catastrophe. A significant number of research groups were prompted to set to work to clean up the remains of this oil slick. One year after, the first results of those researches are being known. They want to use bacteria that eat... view more... (2004-02-11)
Enzyme necessary for DNA synthesis can also erase DNA
In this week's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, PNAS, Uppsala University scientists describe a new mechanism behind an important process that causes a rapid reduction of DNA in the chromosomes of bacteria. view more (2009-06-09)
Deficiency of immune system 'peacekeeper' pinpointed in mice as cause of ulcerative colitis
In a series of mouse experiments, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have pinpointed a specific immune deficiency as the likely fundamental cause of ulcerative colitis, a chronic, sometimes severe inflammatory disease of the colon or large intestine that afflicts half a million Americans. view more (2007-10-05)
Antibiotic resistance in farm animals
Pigs and other farm animals are harbouring major reservoirs of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to research presented today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting in Trinity College Dublin, by researchers from the University of Leeds. view more (2004-08-23)
Mucous breakthrough in mice holds promise for cystic fibrosis
A London, Canada scientist studying cystic fibrosis (CF) has successfully corrected the defect which causes the overproduction of intestinal mucous in mice. view more (2008-07-30)
