You've probably heard of both, but what are the crucial differences between a bedbug vs. cockroach? Though the smallest roach ...

has shown how predatory bacteria protect themselves from the weapons they use in their bacterial killing pathway. The research, published in Nature Communications, offers insights into early steps ...

But new research suggests your washing machine may be underperforming, especially when it comes to killing harmful bacteria. Despite running at high temperatures on paper, many machines aren’t ...

A synthetic polymer clears infections in mice caused by a multiple-drug-resistant bacterium. Gram-negative bacteria are particularly hard to kill once they become drug resistant. To target them ...

Scientists are exploring bacteria's potential as cancer-fighting agents by genetically engineering them to target and destroy tumor cells. These therapies exploit the unique tumor micro ...

Researchers have developed a new method for preventing bacteria from adhering to surfaces, such as medical devices. It relies ...

The phase 1b/2a trial linked a bacteriophage cocktail to improved outcomes in patients with bacteria in their blood, opening the door to further study of a modality that could address the ...

Researchers uncover a notorious cholera strain that contains sophisticated immune systems to fend off viruses, which potentially helped it to fuel a devastating epidemic across Latin America.

Project title: “Evolution of Polar Cell Wall Growth Across Bacterial Clades” What’s the idea?

(Courtesy: University of Nottingham) Scientists have created a novel antimicrobial coating that, when mixed with paint, can be applied to a range of surfaces to destroy bacteria and viruses – ...

“When the brushes dry off, the bacteria die,” says Møretrø. You can also increase the temperature of the dish water in the sink so that it’s more likely to kill bacteria if you’re using a brush versus ...
