New research shows that harmful E. coli bacteria in the gut can make the amoeba parasite Entamoeba histolytica more mobile ...

This study was approved by the University of Connecticut Institutional Biosafety Committee. The role of fibronectin in the invasion of INT407 cells by E. sakazakii was analyzed by pretreating the ...

For decades, bacterial vaginosis has been treated as a women’s health issue—but new research suggests treating male partners could dramatically cut recurrence rates. A scanning electron ...

SB-RA-2001 treatment induced cell elongation and inhibited bacterial cell proliferation without having any detectable effects on either DNA replication or nucleoid segregation. The results indicate ...

However scientists aren’t sure what causes the lingering symptoms of PTLDS once antibiotics have killed the living bacteria inside the body. In a previous study, microbiologist Brandon Jutras ...

Analyzing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique from Würzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods. Not all individuals in a population of ...

It's a true collective, as bacterial colonies often are, but in a manner uniquely suited to their murky, soggy home. Even among a peculiar set of species, though, Ca. Electrothrix yaqonensis stands ...

We rely on fridges to keep food fresh, but if the temperature isn’t right, they can do the opposite – essentially becoming cosy incubators for bacteria. As a microbiologist, I might find that ...

Over the last few years, however, we've found a growing number of cases where bacteria have evolved the ability to break down such chemicals, like industrial contaminants and plastics ...

These live a healthy life under germ-free conditions. However, after colonization with gut bacteria, they can develop a MS-like disease. As part of the study, the mice were given samples from a ...
