Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered a new compartment formed by the bacterial protein CsrA. This membraneless compartment, resembling a droplet-like structure ...

Oregon State University researchers say scientists have found a new species of bacteria that could lead to a whole new era of bioelectric devices. Researchers say they discovered a new cable ...

Although antibiotics have considerably reduced the mortality associated with infectious diseases, their sometimes excessive and abusive use has led to the development of bacterial resistance.

Scientists have discovered a new type of immune defense in E. coli bacteria that turns viral infection machinery against the virus itself. Named after the Chinese military strategist Kongming ...

Short-term ciprofloxacin use in healthy adults induces persistent antibiotic resistance in gut bacteria, with gyrA mutations arising independently across species and persisting for over 10 weeks.

NISKAYUNA — An assisted living facility is addressing Legionella bacteria in its water system after a resident was hospitalized in February and tested positive for the disease. Brookdale ...

Warming temperatures may cause methane emissions from wetlands to rise — by helping methane-producing bacteria thrive. Higher temperatures favor the activity of wetland soil microbes that ...

A bacteria killing coating created by scientists has been used in trials of a new paint that can be applied to a range of surfaces to effectively kill bacteria and viruses, including difficult to ...

It's never a good thing when harmful bacteria are present on surfaces in hospitals, as they can cause life-threatening infections in already immunocompromised patients. A new paint could help keep ...
