2023). Some studies suggest it can be a transient phase, where bacteria later become cultivable and infective again, while others propose that it could represent a more persistent and dangerous ...

One alarming example is Vibrio vulnificus, commonly known as flesh-eating bacteria, a bacterium that often leads to amputations or death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different ...

Kathmann said, while Enterococcus and E-coli bacterial infections occur more often, a bacterium of great concern to Memorial Health is Vibrio vulnificus, sometimes called a “flesh-eating ...

sought to uncover how Vibrio cholerae (the bacterium responsible for cholera) sticks together to form biofilms — and also escape and create new communities. The study was published in the journal ...

In another experiment, bacteria thrived when the proteasome functioned normally but the peptides produced within it were destroyed. The effectiveness of the peptides was also demonstrated in mice ...

We might hate to admit it, but we aren’t in complete control of our own bodies; bacteria can sometimes reign supreme, even in our hankering for a cookie or a glass of sweet tea. A recent study ...

For fraternal twins who share 50 percent of their genes, this rate drops to around 2 percent. Scientists have long suspected that gut bacteria may influence a person's risk of developing multiple ...

For decades, scientists have explored the potential of bacteria in fighting cancer, but safety and efficacy barriers have stood in the way. Now, a research team has cracked the code behind how ...
