Scientists seek to unwrap the sweet mystery of the sugar coat on bacteria
Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a quick and simple way to investigate the sugar coating that surrounds bacteria and plays a role in infection and immunity. view more (2006-02-15)
Typhoid fever led to the fall of Athens
Scientists have for many years debated the cause of the Plague of Athens. Analysis carried out by Manolis Papagrigorakis and colleagues using DNA collected from teeth from an ancient Greek burial pit points to typhoid fever as the disease responsible for this devastating epidemic. view more (2006-01-24)
Bacteria have their own immune system protecting against outside DNA
Bacteria like Salmonella have a complicated immune system that helps them recognize and isolate foreign DNA trying to invade their cell membrane. view more (2006-06-09)
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)
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)
UCSD team unmasks family of immune system invaders
Like a family of petty criminals gone wrong, researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) were surprised to find that bacterial pathogens found in a number of troublesome diseases are actually related. view more (2006-01-13)
Researchers uncover E. coli's defense mechanism
The pathogenic forms of E. coli and Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans through undercooked meat, unwashed vegetables and cross contamination from surfaces on which these foods were prepared. view more (2005-09-29)
Life Cycle of Operons Yields New Look at Bacterial Genetics
In a breakthrough that will immediately benefit biologists who study bacteria, and could in the future have bearing on the advancement of synthetic biology, a team of researchers has determined the life cycle of operons, small groups of genes with related functions that are co-transcribed in a single strand of messenger RNA. view more (2006-07-06)
Salmonella survives better in stomach due to altered DNA
Since 1995 there has been a considerable increase in the number of infections with a specific type of Salmonella bacteria transmitted via food. This type, Salmonella serovar Typhimurium DT104, is resistant to at least five different antibiotics. view more (2007-01-31)
Microbial website has a makeover
Microbes are everywhere and affect every aspect of our lives. Who hasn’t heard of SARS, HIV, E. coli O157 or Salmonella? The world needs microbiologists to keep one step ahead of the bugs, and there has to be a way of passing on vital information about microbiological issues. The Society for General Microbiology (SGM) aims to promote the... view more... (2003-06-06)
Researchers map spread of pathogens in the human body
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered a new, more accurate, method of mapping how bacteria spread within the body, a breakthrough that could lead to more effective treatments and prevention of certain bacterial infections. view more (2006-10-23)
Detection of Salmonella in 24 hours
The food and drink we consume have to pass strict quality controls. Nevertheless, these measures are not always sufficient, given that sometimes certain foodstuffs can still give rise to food poisoning, most often caused by micro-organisms. view more (2007-02-09)
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)
Climate change may affect length of respiratory infection season
Rising global temperatures over the past two decades may be responsible for a shortened season of a serious respiratory illness in the United Kingdom. view more (2006-02-10)
Eating less red meat can prevent cancer, heart attacks and global warming
Raising livestock also accounts for around 18% of greenhouse gases. It is therefore possible to act against climate change and reduce cardiovascular and cancer deaths, by cutting the production and consumption of 'red meat' from these animals. view more (2009-08-31)
Innocuous intestinal bacteria may be reservoir for resistance
"Harmless" bacteria in the digestive tracts of dairy cows, may not be so harmless after all. They may be a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes that can be transferred to more harmful, disease-causing bacteria. view more (2006-05-25)
Improvement of the treatments against brucellosis and ovine salmonella
Maite Estevan Muguerza, a researcher of the University of Navarra, has improved existing treatments against brucellosis and sheep salmonella, by applying, in her doctoral thesis, techniques of micro- and nano-technology which permit the encapsulation of vaccines. view more (2006-05-08)
Novel plague virulence factor identified
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have identified a previously unknown family of virulence factors that make the bacterium responsible for the plague especially efficient at killing its host. view more (2005-08-29)
Antibiotic Resistance and Gene Transfer
The way antibiotic resistance spreads and possible problems from genes transferring have been identified by researchers from the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, in new evidence about the way genes pass from one bacterium to another. The research is presented today, Monday 7 April 2003, by Dr Karen Scott at the Society for General... view more... (2003-04-02)
An infectious agent of deception, exposed through proteomics
Salmonella bacteria, infamous for food poisoning that kills hundreds of thousands worldwide, infect by stealth. view more (2006-09-29)
