Microbial bioelectronic sensors use living bacteria that can create an electrical signal in response to the presence of a ...
Researchers have developed a new method for detecting foodborne pathogens that is faster, cheaper, and more effective than existing methods. Their microfluidic chip uses light to detect multiple types ...
A high-fat diet can cause the intestinal lining to weaken, allowing live gut bacteria to travel directly to the brain in mice ...
Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, describe how ...
A study of about 15,000 adults finds a lasting association between the use of certain antibiotics and the balance of the intestinal microbiota. The intestinal microbiota, that community of bacteria ...
ETVAX is the first vaccine that offers significant protection against pathogenic E. coli in children ...
The COVID-19 pandemic brought the term "Polymerase Chain Reaction testing" into the mainstream. The PCR method is a type of ...
Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal disease—with symptoms often misidentified as cholera—in humans and animals.
