The possibility of a brain microbiome has scientists engaged in a discussion about the possible role of bacteria in ...

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

Complementary discoveries have the potential to enhance treatment options for antibiotic-resistant infections. Researchers at ...

This valuable study on strategies used by Pseudomonas to subvert hots immunity identifies a new immune evasion strategy. The study presents solid evidence on the cleavage of VgrG2B by Caspase 11 and ...

Currently, multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial wound infections (WIs) are an extremely challenging clinical problem for physicians. Recently, compared to traditional single liquid delivery drugs, the ...

Impetigo is a bacterial infection that affects your skin, causing sores and blisters. It can appear differently depending on the stage of infection and what part of your body it affects.

Diseases spread through saliva include mononucleosis, strep throat, rotavirus, and even tooth decay. Many diseases can be spread through saliva alone, including viral and bacterial infections. Our ...

Fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm, occur when one type of fungal microbe becomes too prevalent in one area of the body so that the immune system cannot defeat it.

In 2018, scientists applied to work on “virus infection experiments in humanised mice” using Sars coronaviruses to find out what changes could lead to a spillover event into humans.

Furthermore, infection experiments demonstrated that males remained capable of transmitting spores for up to 24 hours post-treatment. The transgenic strain proved particularly lethal, even with ...
