'Conversation stoppers' fight deadly bacterial infections
Bacterial infections are becoming more deadly worldwide due to increased resistance to antibiotics. Now, chemists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a powerful strategy to fight these deadly infections: Instead of killing the bacteria directly, the scientists designed a group of compounds that can block the chemical signals that... view more...

Magnetic misfits: South seeking bacteria in the Northern Hemisphere
Magnetotactic bacteria contain chains of magnetic iron minerals that allow them to orient in the earth's magnetic field much like living compass needles. view more (2006-01-23)
Helping good bacteria win the war on dental disease
Good bacteria growing in dental plaque could help fight off bugs that cause gum disease and tooth decay if they are given a competitive edge, according to research presented today (Monday 16 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn meeting at Loughborough University. "We've found that the composition of bacteria in dental... view more... (2002-08-28)
Common reflux treatment linked to life threatening bowel infection in premature infants
Researchers in an NIH network have found that premature infants given a common class of non-prescription drugs used to treat acid reflux are slightly more likely to develop a potentially fatal bowel disorder than are infants who are not treated with the drugs. view more (2006-02-09)
Colorful bacteria more dangerous
A new study in the July 18 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine shows that gold-colored bacteria are more harmful than their unpigmented relatives. A group of scientists led by Victor Nizet (UCSD, San Diego, CA) have discovered that the molecules that give certain bugs their color also help them resist attack by immune cells called... view more...

A wolf in sheep's clothing: plague bacteria reveal one of their virulence tricks
The bacterium that causes the plague belongs to a virulent family of bacteria called Yersinia, a group that also includes a pathogen responsible for food poisoning. view more (2006-09-21)
Two miles underground, strange bacteria are found thriving
A Princeton-led research group has discovered an isolated community of bacteria nearly two miles underground that derives all of its energy from the decay of radioactive rocks rather than from sunlight. view more (2006-10-23)
Waterproof superglue may be strongest in nature
The glue one species of water-loving bacteria uses to grip its surroundings may be the strongest natural adhesive known to science. view more (2006-04-12)
Advance in cholera bacteria points to new treatment and vaccine
Opening a new door to an effective vaccine and therapy for a disease that strikes thousands annually, researchers at Dartmouth Medical School discovered that the bacteria that causes the intestinal disease Cholera spreads in the environment in much the same way it infects humans. view more (2005-12-08)
Brush your teeth to reduce the risk of heart disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. However, many people with cardiovascular disease have none of the common risk factors such as smoking, obesity and high cholesterol. view more (2008-09-09)
Gaining Ground in the Race Against Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance has put humans in an escalating 'arms race' with infectious bacteria, as scientists try to develop new antibiotics faster than the bacteria can evolve new resistance strategies. view more (2005-09-20)
'Hellish' hot springs yield greenhouse gas-eating bug
A new species of bacteria discovered living in one of the most extreme environments on Earth could yield a tool in the fight against global warming. view more (2007-12-07)
Unraveling the viral mechanism
Using powerful computer tools and cryo-electron microscopes, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine unmasked the secrets of a tiny virus that infects bacteria and, in doing so, opened the door to a better understanding of a variety of viruses that infect people and animals. view more (2006-02-02)
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)
Protein clue to tailor-made antibiotics
Scientists at the University of York have made a huge leap forward in the search for 'smarter' antibiotics. view more (2006-08-23)
How 1 bacteria colonizes the gut and causes food poisoning
Food poisoning caused by the bacteria enterohemorrhagic Eschericia coli (EHEC) O157:H7A results in severe abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea. view more (2007-10-19)
Study reveals classic symbiotic relationship between ants, bacteria
Ants that tend and harvest gardens of fungus have a secret weapon against the parasites that invade their crops: antibiotic-producing bacteria that the insects harbor on their bodies. view more (2006-01-06)
How flesh-eating bacteria attack the body's immune system
"Flesh-eating" or "Strep" bacteria are able to survive and spread in the body by degrading a key immune defense molecule, according to researchers at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. view more (2008-08-14)
Breath test offers hope for early detection of lung-bacteria growth in cystic fibrosis
Breath-analysis testing may prove to be an effective, non-invasive method for detecting the damaging lung-bacteria growth seen in cystic fibrosis, which would allow for early stage treatments that can extend the health of people with this disease. view more (2005-10-18)
CBEN: Buckyball aggregates are soluble, antibacterial
In some of the first research to probe how buckyballs will interact with natural ecosystems, Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology finds that the molecules spontaneously clump together upon contact with water, forming nanoparticles that are both soluble and toxic to bacteria. view more (2005-06-23)
