Antimicrobial resistance is a growing issue in aquaculture. Researchers discovered that combinations of bacteria from live-feed microalgae are capable of inhibiting pathogens. A new study by Danish ...

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...

Scientists are hard at work trying to assess the scale of our microplastic pollution problem and the likely health impacts. A new study now identifies several downstream health risks these tiny ...

As vital as vaccines are, they can be frustratingly selective about their targets. Scientists from institutions across the US ...

Recent research has revealed that mosquitoes may be able to transmit diseases across long distances by traveling via high-altitude strong winds, expanding their harmful impact on human health. A team ...

Our bodies are a constant battlefield between pathogens and our immune system. But beyond this battle, there’s a larger war being fought between humans and drug-resistant bacteria. When antibiotics ...

Staph infections can be deadly, especially in hospitals where certain strains have evolved to be resistant to antibiotics. The bacteria responsible for these infections, Staphylococcus aureus, is ...

In a cave in Romania, scientists found a bacterial strain entombed in ice that is resistant to 10 modern antibiotics. But it may also help fight superbugs.

Kidney stones have plagued humans since antiquity, yet despite our long history with them, we've apparently overlooked a key ...

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—who ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable bacterial product causes mutations in DNA that have been linked to ...
