Researchers at Pitt have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage–phage for short–that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

The vaginal flora is the bacteria that live inside the vagina. The normal vaginal flora is dominated by various lactobacillus species. Lactobacilli help to keep the vagina healthy by producing lactic ...

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 ...

With the right microscope, kids can examine details on flora and fauna that would be otherwise invisible to the naked eye — some of these are even capable of viewing bacteria in clear ...

These are the best microscopes for students and young scientists, offering professional functionality without breaking the bank. Our guide to the best microscopes for students includes a range of ...

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 ...

PYME (the PYthon Microscopy Environment) is an open-source application suite for light microscopy acquisition, data storage, visualization, and analysis. It offers a particularly comprehensive set of ...

The team analyzed 19,885 known genetic sequences of 14,614 species of bacteria, then designed species-specific PNA sequences to target the bug's ribosomal RNA. PNA probes have distinct advantages ...

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.

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 ...

In one study, researchers swabbed the soles of 40 volunteers. They found that foot washing had a significant impact on bacteria numbers. People who washed their feet twice a day had around 8,800 ...
