Soil-borne pathogens are resilient to stressful conditions, and may be more likely than non-pathogenic microbes to survive the prolonged dry spells that are projected to persist regionally across many ...

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 ...

In a recent review published in the journal PNAS, researchers examined the germ theory from a non-centric perspective on infection outcome, considering the variables that influence illness severity ...

A recent study published in Scientific Reports compared the detection of pathogenic microbes between blood culture and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in patients suspected of ...

Insufficient cleaning could lead to a buildup of potentially pathogenic microbes on orthodontic retainers, according to a study by researchers from University College London Eastman Dental Institute ...

Balance must be maintained among the trillions of microbes that live in the gastrointestinal tract. The gut microbiome has to host enough beneficial microbes to help control the levels of potentially ...

They found the air in hospitals and on airplanes contains a diverse but mostly harmless mix of microbes, with only minimal traces of potentially pathogenic species. In both environments, common ...

When it comes to the air in public places, germophobes can breathe a bit easier. According to a new Northwestern University study, the ambient air on airplanes and in hospitals mostly contains ...
