As therapies and antibiotics develop and improve, pathogens adapt to overcome current medications. Bacteria are a specific organism that can adapt quickly | Immunology ...

In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they had identified ...

Whether in the human body or on surfaces, bacteria protect themselves from outside attackers using biofilms. Physicist Eleonora Secchi is researching how these slime-like protective films are formed, ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria from proliferating. The study is published in the journal Microbiome.

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Pathogenic bacteria have evolved a variety of mechanisms to thrive within their hosts, even in the face of antibiotic treatment. One particularly effective strategy is the expression of membrane ...

In Gram-negative bacteria, which include some of the most devastating human pathogens, just two mechanisms for the export of polysaccharides have been identified so far. Now a research team has ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

A destructive plant pathogen has long puzzled scientists with its ability to move swiftly through crops and cause sudden, ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...
