“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...

Pseudomonas is a genus of gram-negative bacteria. It belongs to the family Pseudomonadaceae and is in the class Gammaproteobacteria. Not all strains of this type of bacteria cause infection, but some ...

Immune cells that eat bacteria in the body don't stash them in specialized compartments as once thought, but turn them into critical nutrients that build proteins, create energy and keep the cells ...

Depending on the disease-causing germ, an infectious disease can be spread through some or all of the following ways: Antibiotic medicines are used to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics don't ...

Understanding the world within: Study reveals new insights into phage--bacteria interactions in the gut microbiome Date: February 25, 2025 Source: Baylor College of Medicine Summary: Researchers ...

There's an arms race in medicine -- scientists design drugs to treat lethal bacterial infections, but bacteria can evolve defenses to those drugs, sending the researchers back to square one.

A new study shows that gut bacteria can influence the molecular pattern of glycosylation – the presence of sugar groups on proteins – in the brain. Credit: Daniela Velasco Lozano/EMBL By employing a ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...
