Scientists at LSU have patented a novel way to kill cancer cells using staph bacteria, sometimes called the “superbug.” ...

Researchers link higher levels of CAG-170 gut bacteria to better health across 39 countries and multiple chronic diseases.

Study finds hidden microbiome toxicity in everyday pollutants, with some chemicals linked to antibiotic resistance.

A Dartmouth study finds that molecular hitchhikers living within bacteria can make their hosts extra resistant to medical ...

In a huge global study led by University of Cambridge researchers, a single group of bacteria—named CAG-170—has repeatedly shown up in high numbers in the gut microbiomes of healthy people. CAG-170 is ...

A new compound made from tree resin kills almost 100% of drug-resistant bacteria without harming healthy tissue, laboratory studies suggest. Made into a film, this nanocellulose could be used as a ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have generated strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli that consume just CO 2 as their nutrient source, instead of organic compounds. They ...

The Lab Report: Every week, the Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. When a population of bacteria is large enough, individual ...
