Imagine going to the hospital for a bacterial ear infection and hearing your doctor say, "We're out of options." It may sound ...

As pathogenic bacteria continue to evolve and find ways to evade common medications, researchers have been racing to develop new antibiotics to avoid a crisis. Reporting in Nature, scientists have now ...

Viruses and bacteria are not responsible for all infections diseases. Many infectious diseases are caused by viruses and bacteria. But there are also other types of pathogens that cause illness.

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a sophisticated molecular apparatus that many Gram‐negative bacterial pathogens deploy to inject effector proteins directly into host cells. This machinery ...

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 ...

New method provides high-resolution surveillance data about multiple common antibiotic-resistant bacteria at once and could help prevent the spread of infections. Researchers have developed a new ...
