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.

Swarming is one of the principal forms of bacterial motility facilitated by flagella and surfactants. It plays a distinctive ...

Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the species' survival over many generations. However, we have shown that bacterial ...

Elevated levels of two bacterial strains from the Lachnospiraceae family in the gut may be a key risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study. The study, “Multiple sclerosis and ...

Soil bacteria play a crucial role in regulating soil biological processes, and understanding how straw return affects bacterial populations can guide better agricultural management practices. Methods: ...

we found that this was correlated with mucin-degrading bacteria, suggesting contribution of the gut microbiota to reduced barrier function. Subjects for stool protein analysis were recruited from the ...
