UC research discovers new way to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Research by a team at the University of Cincinnati (UC) has helped in the discovery of a new way to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria, responsible for preventing treatment of lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis and life-threatening cases of pneumonia. view more (2007-03-19)
Agricultural antibiotic use contributes to 'super-bugs' in humans
Doctors have become increasingly concerned by the problem of "super-bugs"-bacteria that have become resistant to standard antibiotics. It is well known that a high rate of antibiotic prescribing in hospitals contributes to the emergence of drug resistant bacteria. view more (2005-07-05)
Study in pregnant women suggests probiotics may help ward off obesity
One year after giving birth, women were less likely to have the most dangerous kind of obesity if they had been given probiotics from the first trimester of pregnancy, found new research that suggests manipulating the balance of bacteria in the gut may help fight obesity. view more (2009-05-07)
Dental plaque: a breeding ground for antibiotic resistance
Gene swapping is taking place on your gums as the bacteria in dental plaque trade-up on newer antibiotic resistance genes, according to research presented today (Monday 16 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn meeting at Loughborough University. "We have found that many antibiotic resistance genes in oral bacteria are... view more... (2002-08-28)
Princeton scientists break cholera's lines of communication
A team of Princeton scientists has discovered a key mechanism in how bacteria communicate with each other, a pivotal breakthrough that could lead to treatments for cholera and other bacterial diseases. view more (2007-11-15)
Functional food task force meets on latest nutrition research
Consumers, health professionals and educators are bombarded with research about the health benefits of certain foods. To help sort through the information, dairy industry experts recently gathered at the Functional Food Task Force meeting in San Francisco. view more (2006-06-22)
THE BODY'S OVER REACTION TO GERMS IN RELATIONS TO SIDS
Research by, among others, Dr Caroline Blackwell of the University of Edinburgh's Department of Medical Microbiology suggests that many SIDS babies have been exposed to bacteria that can cause the body's natural defences to germs to 'over react'. view more (1999-03-16)
Better immune defense against anthrax
Scientists discover a gene in anthrax-causing bacteria may help defend against this form of bio-warfare. view more (2009-09-09)
Bug factories for drugs: quality control holds key to quantity
Tiny types of soil bugs already make many of the products we use in washing detergents, foods, and waste treatment, but scientists now hope that similar bacteria will also make the vaccines and drugs of the future, according to new research presented today (Tuesday, 07 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at... view more...

Virus product could kill anthrax and beat antibiotic resistance
Researchers from Rockefeller University, New York, have developed a new way of killing dangerous bacteria like the ones which cause anthrax and pneumonia, using products from a virus, according to new research presented today (Tuesday, 07 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. view more (2004-08-23)
Slow-growing TB bacteria point the way to new drug development
The discovery of a large number of slow-growing Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which cause tuberculosis (TB), in the lungs of TB patients could be an important step forward in the design of new anti-TB drugs. view more (2009-03-30)
ETH Researchers Open New Perspectives for Biotechnology
Metabolic and biochemical reactions are basically the same in all living beings, or at least comparable. The genetic codes of all living beings, that is to say of bacteria, plants, fungii and animals, are made up of the same set of building blocks. Human genes are therefore correctly translated into the corresponding proteins even by bacteria. The... view more... (2002-11-28)
New study supports findings that periodontal bacteria may be linked to heart disease
The presence of specific bacteria and combinations of bacteria in periodontal pockets might be an explanation for the relationship between periodontal disease and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). view more (2006-07-20)
Biofilms use chemical weapons
Bacteria rarely come as loners; more often they grow in crowds and squat on surfaces where they form a community together. view more (2008-07-24)
New weapon to combat resistant bacteria
The problem of hospital infection, severe disease caused by antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus bacteria, entails major costs and great suffering. Group A streptococcus bacteria, also called meat-eating killer bacteria, are another growing problem. A team of Lund scientists in Sweden has now developed a substance called Cystapep, which seems to... view more... (2003-12-10)
Molecular marker identifies normal stem cells as intestinal tumor source
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have answered a central question in cancer biology: whether normal stem cells can give rise to tumors. view more (2008-12-18)
Forsyth scientists suggest linkages between obesity and oral bacterial infection
A scientific team from The Forsyth Institute has discovered new links between certain oral bacteria and obesity. view more (2009-07-09)
Penicillin to receive 'International Landmark' status
Penicillin was discovered almost by accident. Alexander Fleming, on returning from holiday to his laboratories at St. Mary's Hospital, found that the fungal mould Penicillium notatum had infected some lab dishes on which he was growing bacteria for other experiments. He noticed that the bacteria could not survive near the mould, and went on to... view more... (1999-11-16)
Discovery of 'sugar sensor' in intestine could benefit diabetes
Diabetes patients could benefit from new research at the University of Liverpool that has identified a molecule in the intestine that can 'taste' the sugar content of the diet. view more (2007-08-22)
Is obesity an oral bacterial disease?
The world-wide explosion of overweight people has been called an epidemic. The inflammatory nature of obesity is widely recognized. view more (2009-07-09)
