The gut bacteria B. adolescentis eased lung scarring in a pulmonary fibrosis mouse model, showing potential as a preventive ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Researchers have long believed that Propionibacterium acnes causes acne. But these bacteria are plentiful on everyone's skin and yet not everyone gets acne, or experiences it to the same degree.

Fat bacteria? Skinny bacteria? From our perspective on high, they all seem to be about the same size. In fact, they are. Precisely why has been an open question, according to Rice University chemist ...

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 ...

Using theoretical models of bacterial metabolism and reproduction, scientists can predict the type of resistance that bacteria will develop when they are exposed to antibiotics. Using theoretical ...

Escherichia coli is one of the most-studied of all bacteria, but there’s still much we do not know about it. A new computer model developed at UC Davis will help scientists design experiments to ...

In an era where healthcare challenges demand innovative solutions, VIRUS vs. BACTERIA emerges as a solution of great promise. Being available to use worldwide and with its user-friendly interface and ...

Many everyday chemicals can damage beneficial gut bacteria and potentially fuel antibiotic resistance, prompting calls to ...
