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 ...

Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal disease—with symptoms often misidentified as cholera—in humans and animals.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis developed a novel compound that effectively clears Gram-positive bacterial infections in mice, in particular skin and soft tissue ...

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 ...

Intracellular bacterial pathogens pose a major challenge to current antimicrobial therapies due to their ability to survive and replicate within host cells, ...

Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics are a growing health problem. These dangerous pathogens are already thought to contribute to the deaths of over 4 million people every year, worldwide. The ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, describe how ...

The researchers thus expect that this type of treatment could be adapted for use against other bacterial pathogens. "The recently published findings open up a new and innovative way to fight ...

Modern diagnostic methods allow growers to detect pathogens earlier and identify disease pressure with far greater precision than traditional testing methods.
