Applied physicists have recognized the limited reliability of antibodies in providing bacterial detection with specificity. Instead they used phage-derived proteins, proteins developed from the ...

Researchers have developed a new approach to studying potentially deadly disease-causing bacteria which could help speed up the process of finding vaccines. The scientists have pioneered a simple ...

A consortium of researchers with multidisciplinary skills, coordinated by INRAE and including the CNRS, the Université Paris-Saclay and Inserm, has identified a molecule capable of "disarming" ...

To identify the risk of patients undergoing cataract surgery of having pathogenic conjunctival bacteria associated with their systemic co-morbidities. The aim of the present study is to investigate ...

Researchers have discovered a weak spot in the cell wall of pathogenic bacteria that could lead to the development of new antibiotics. This was a joint collaboration between researchers at the ...

CHRONIC bronchitis is a common and often major factor influencing pulmonary disability in chronic pulmonary disease. The flora is commonly "mixed," consisting of various pathogens and non-pathogens ...

Antibiotic resistant bacteria already cause tens of thousands of fatal infections every year, and that number is expected to continue to rise. Even while many commonly used antibiotics are becoming ...

A research team led by Prof Dr Christian Hertweck at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) has discovered a new group of bioactive natural products in ...

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 ...

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 ...
