Teachers discover that bacteria prefer milk chocolate
Bacteria prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate and will swim towards it on an agar plate, so teachers have found out this week (15-19 July) at a summer school run by the Society for General Microbiology at the University of Reading. The experiment is one of a series of A-level practicals currently being produced for teachers by the Society.... view more... (2002-07-17)
Use of antibiotics for acne may increase risk of common infectious illness
Individuals treated with antibiotics for acne for more than six weeks were more than twice as likely to develop an upper respiratory tract infection within one year as individuals with acne who were not treated with antibiotics. view more (2005-09-19)
New class of antibiotics effective against drug-resistant bacteria discovered in fungi
A peptide identified in a fungus found in northern European pine forests possesses as much power as penicillin as well as vancomycin, according to an international team of researchers. view more (2005-10-13)
Top ten contact dermatitis allergens identified in Mayo Clinic study
A new Mayo Clinic study reveals the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis, a skin inflammation resulting in swollen, reddened and itchy skin due to direct contact with an allergen. view more (2006-03-06)
Study finds MRSA most common cause of skin infections in patients presenting in nation's ER's
Think that's a spider bite on your arm? Think again. It could be methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, a type of staph infection increasingly seen in communities across the nation that is resistant to antibiotics most commonly used to treat skin infections. view more (2006-08-17)
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)
New treatment for food poisoning
A team of researchers working at the University of Bristol has found a potential new treatment for listeriosis, a deadly form of food poisoning. view more (2006-05-12)
Jefferson Scientists Design Method to Fight Artificial Implant Infections with Antibiotics
Infections associated with inserting a medical device can be devastating, painful, and cause prolonged disability, costing tens of thousands of dollars. view more (2005-09-26)
Stealth technology maintains fitness after sex
Pathogens can become superbugs without their even knowing it, research published today in Science shows. 'Stealth' plasmids-circular 'DNA parasites' of bacteria that can carry antibiotic-resistance genes-produce a protein that increases the chances of survival and spread of the antibiotic-resistant strain. view more (2007-01-12)
Antibiotics may not be enough to stop recurrent gastric lymphoma caused by Helicobacter pylori
Research led by Dr. Anne Mueller at Stanford University School of Medicine demonstrates that successful eradication of Helicobacter may not prevent future aggressive gastric lymphoma since resting B cells are left behind. view more (2005-08-25)
Researchers use dirt to stay one step ahead of antibiotic resistance
Dirt may be a key to how bacteria that infect humans develop a resistance to antibiotic drugs. view more (2006-01-20)
Antibiotics do not prevent recurrent myocardial infarcts in subjects with periodontitis
Periodontitis, an infection of the gingiva and tooth-supporting tissues, may influence the effectiveness of antibiotics used for the prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events. view more (2006-01-05)
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)
Emerging staph strains found to be increasingly deadly and deceptive
A study of how the immune system reacts to strains of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria-emerging strains that sicken otherwise healthy people, or so-called "community-acquired" infections-has shown for the first time that these strains are more deadly and better at evading human immune defenses than more common S.... view more...

In some cases, genetic resistance takes on a life of its own
For those concerned with the troublesome effects of genetic resistance to drugs and pesticides, the conventional wisdom of evolution offers a reassuring word. view more (2005-08-09)
Insects cultivate 'antibiotic-producing bacteria' in their antennae
Bacteria live in, on and around us and other organisms with sometimes very beneficial results. For the first time scientists have shown that one species of insect deliberately cultivates bacteria in its antennae in order to protect their larvae from fungal attack. view more (2007-04-02)
AAAAI, ACAAI identify new recommendations for sinusitis diagnosis and management
Sinusitis is one of the most diagnosed diseases in the United States, affecting approximately 16% of the adult population, and is responsible for nearly $5.8 billion in health care costs annually, according to an updated practice parameter. view more (2005-11-30)
Pair of studies offer new clues to combat antibiotic resistance
In the continuing battle against antibiotic resistance, two new studies shed light on the complex defense mechanisms pathogenic bacteria use to evade antibiotic attack, an understanding of which could lead to new, more effective antibiotics to help save lives and combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. view more (2006-01-25)
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)
Microbiology Today: Discovering the secrets of extraordinary life forms
Not long ago, the discovery of viruses revolutionized our thinking about the lower limits of microscopic life. Now even small strands of RNA are found to be infectious in plants, and proteins are believed to cross the species barrier and cause brain disease. In the November 2000 issue of Microbiology Today Nicola Spence and Dez Barbara of... view more... (2000-11-13)
