Klebsiella oxytoca, one of several Klebsiella bacteria, is naturally found in the intestinal tract, mouth, and nose, and although they're considered healthy in your intestines, outside the gut ...

The recall applies to retailers in the United States, but the shampoo, which potentially contains Klebsiella oxytoca bacteria, can also be purchased online in Europe. More than 1,000 bottles of ...

"The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique allows the rapid detection and identification of microbes based on their variation in genomic sequence without time-consuming culturing or ...

Most people probably don't think about soil as a living thing. But it is filled with millions of tiny organisms that play a critical role in everything soil does—including sequestering carbon.

Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic molecule that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria — even strains resistant to commercial drugs — and is not toxic to human cells 1.

"Leveraging the potential of microbes will be a critical asset to the collection of strategies for tackling rising greenhouse gas emissions and global environmental change." "Microbial Solutions ...

But over time, the microbes responsible for these infections have evolved to evade the very drugs designed to eliminate them. Each year, there are more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant ...

A study about office microwaves may have some people rethinking the leftover food they eat for lunch. Researchers examined the differences in bacteria present in domestic spaces such as a home; in ...

"The foot – especially between the toes – is quite a moist, humid, and warm environment, so it can be a breeding ground for microbes," says Holly Wilkinson, a lecturer in wound healing at the ...
