A new study, led by researchers at the University of Liverpool, has revealed how pathogenic bacteria construct tiny protein-based compartments, known as Eut microcompartments, which enable them to ...

Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists are elucidating the ways ...

A new study, led by researchers at the University of Liverpool, has revealed how pathogenic bacteria construct tiny ...

Heme oxygenases are pivotal enzymes that enable pathogenic bacteria to exploit host heme as an essential iron source. By catalysing the oxidative cleavage of heme, these enzymes release iron and ...

For most people, swimming in a lake or river is the best way to cool off on a hot summer's day. But there are more than frogs and fish in those waters – microscopic pathogens that can cause serious ...

An interdisciplinary research team led by the Leibniz-HKI in Jena has discovered a new group of bioactive natural compounds in pathogenic bacteria of the genus Pandoraea: pandorabactins. They enable ...

The study team included, back row, from left, graduate student Rebecca Ulrich; chemistry professor Paul Hergenrother; Chris Fields, of Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center, research scientist Po-Chao ...

The misuse of antibiotics has led to the rise of 'superbugs' that no longer respond to many medications. Illnesses caused by ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Summer is wrapping up, temperatures are high, and the beach is still calling. But there are risks from bacteria, parasites and other pathogens in the water at beaches, pools and water playgrounds.
