Dust storms may carry bacteria to Japan from China
Bacteria found in soil around Tokyo are not indigenous to the area. A study published in the open access journal Saline Systems reveals a large proportion of salt-loving bacteria in non-saline soil around Tokyo. The researchers suggest that dust storms may have carried the bacteria from their natural habitats in China. view more (2005-10-20)

Ammonia-loving archaea win landslide majority
A genetic analysis of soil samples indicates that a group of microorganisms called crenarchaeota are the Earth's most abundant land-based creatures that oxidize ammonia. view more (2006-08-17)
New life found in ancient tombs
Life has been discovered in the barren depths of Rome's ancient tombs, proving catacombs are not just a resting place for the dead. The two new species of bacteria found growing on the walls of the Roman tombs may help protect our cultural heritage monuments. view more (2008-09-25)
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)
Common Enzyme is a Key Player in DNA Repair
A quarter century after they discovered it, researchers have identified the job of one of the most common DNA-damage response proteins. view more (2006-01-12)
Infection-fighting protein could be key to autoimmune disease, say U-M scientists
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have discovered that a protein called cryopyrin responds to invading bacteria by triggering the activation of a powerful inflammatory molecule called IL-1beta, which signals the immune system to attack pathogens and induces fever to protect the body against infection. view more (2006-01-12)
The secret life of algae
The researchers, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), found that no algae have the necessary genes to produce vitamin B12. view more (2006-01-12)
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)
Tongue scrapers only slightly reduce bad breath
Bad breath is a common problem for many people, given the wide variety of substances traveling through our mouths daily. Some people avoid offensive foods and drinks, chew gum, use mouth rinses, or eat mints to mask unpleasant odor. view more (2006-10-09)
Friendly bacteria reduce hospital infections
A probiotic bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum 299, has been used to out-compete the dangerous bacteria that cause respiratory illness in ventilated patients. view more (2008-11-06)
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)
A step forward in the fight against bacterial infections
Bacterial infections can strike anyone, and they can sometimes be fatal. Because more and more bacteria are becoming resistant to the pre-eminent remedy; antibiotics; the search for new remedies against bacterial infections is in high gear. view more (2006-02-02)
Bacteria can help predict ocean change
Every creature has its place and role in the oceans - even the smallest microbe, according to a new study that may lead to more accurate models of ocean change. view more (2006-08-15)
Salivary bacteria as indicators of oral cancer?
Patients suffering from oral cancer have increased levels of certain bacteria in their saliva, according to new research published today in the Open Access journal, Journal of Translational Medicine. view more (2005-07-07)
Basic work on E. coli identifies two new keys to regulation of bacterial gene expression
The cellular process of transcription, in which the enzyme RNA polymerase constructs chains of RNA from information contained in DNA, depends upon previously underappreciated sections of both the DNA promoter region and RNA polymerase, according to work done with the bacterium E. coli. view more (2006-06-19)
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)
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)
Mystery solved: Gold's power against autoimmune diseases defined
Gold compounds have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases for more than 75 years, but until now, how the metals work has been a mystery. view more (2006-02-27)
