Queensland researchers have discovered that a mutation allows some E. coli bacteria to cause severe disease in people while other bacteria are harmless, a finding that could help to combat antibiotic ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Marine bacteria are key to determining whether carbon is recycled near the ocean surface or transported to deeper waters, but many operate in constant threat of being infected by ...

In the 1940s, the famous Luria–Delbrück experiment showed that bacteria evolve resistance to drugs they'd never encountered thanks to a random mutational process. When you purchase through links on ...

Increased consumption of ultraprocessed foods can impact children’s gut health and immunity, leaving them more susceptible to the bacteria. As rates of colorectal cancer soar in adults younger than 50 ...

Researchers have discovered that a mutation in the cellulose making machinery of E. coli bacteria allows them to cause severe disease in people -- 'good' bacteria make cellulose and 'bad' bacteria can ...

Tuberculosis is both curable and preventable, yet each year, it still kills more people than any other infectious disease.

A bacterial toxin called colibactin, produced by certain strains of E. coli, appears to alter gut DNA in a way that prompts colon cancer, researchers report in the journal Nature. Photo by ...
