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)
Friendly bacteria in alcoholic milkshake could fight food allergies
Feeding babies alcoholic milk may help to protect against some food allergies. Kefir, a traditional fermented drink, is consumed in Eastern Europe as a health food, and is often used to wean babies, as it is easily digested. view more (2006-10-16)
Antioxidants may protect against tick-borne illness
Researchers are investigating the role that antioxidants - alpha-lipoic acid and potentially others like green tea and vitamins C and E, for example - might play in preventing or treating the deadly rickettsia bacteria. view more (2006-08-10)
Cholera pathogen reveals how bacteria generate energy to live
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have discovered new details about how bacteria generate energy to live. In two recently published papers, the scientists add key specifics to the molecular mechanism behind the pathogen that causes cholera. view more (2007-01-30)

Sydney researchers explain how stress can make you sick
Garvan Institute scientists have discovered how a hormone, known as neuropeptide Y (NPY), can prevent our immune system functioning properly, paving the way for two new major opportunities for therapeutic intervention. view more (2005-12-05)
What gives us sunburn protects crayfish against bacteria
The production of melanin gives us sunburns, but it also helps invertebrate animals to encapsulate attacking fungi and parasites. view more (2007-09-25)
Cystic fibrosis patients may breathe easier, thanks to bioengineered antimicrobials
By better understanding how antimicrobials bind and thereby get inactivated in the mucus of air passages, researchers at the University of Illinois may have found a way to help cystic fibrosis patients fight off deadly infections. view more (2007-09-25)
Using the genomic shortcut to predict bacterial behavior
How do you study a pathogen that can't survive outside its host's cells? In a new study published in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Hiroyuki Ogata and colleagues show that sequencing and analyzing the genome of the bacteria Rickettsia felis provide valuable insights into the biology and behavior of this intracellular pathogen. view more (2005-07-05)
Giant Deep-Sea Tubeworm's Meal Ticket Comes in as a Skin Infection
Giant tubeworms found near hydrothermal vents more than a mile below the ocean surface do not bother to eat: lacking mouth and stomach, they stand rooted to one spot. view more (2006-05-22)
Plain soap as effective as antibacterial but without the risk
Antibacterial soaps show no health benefits over plain soaps and, in fact, may render some common antibiotics less effective, says a University of Michigan public health professor. view more (2007-08-16)
Supersized 'island' of resistance genes discovered in an infectious bacterium
Researchers have discovered a cluster of 45 genes coding for antibacterial drug resistance in the bacterium, Acinetobacter baumannii, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. view more (2006-01-13)

Progress toward a new remedy for chronic urinary tract infections?
Researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) at the Free University of Brussels have recently published results that show promise in the quest for a new remedy for chronic urinary tract infections. The researchers have shown that administration of the sugar Heptyl-a-D-mannoside can prevent E. coli bacteria from... view more... (2005-02-10)
U of M study shows treatment of periodontal disease does not decrease risk for preterm birth
Researchers at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry have found treatment of periodontal (gum) disease in pregnant women does not significantly alter rates of preterm birth, low birth weight, or fetal growth restriction. view more (2006-11-02)
Role of protein in immune response may aid HIV research
A family of proteins that serve as the body's first line of defense against bacterial infections may provide a lifeline for individuals with compromised immune systems, according to researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine - Northwest. view more (2006-07-31)
