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

Active Genetics (Pro-AG) exploits a naturally created bacterial mating tunnel between cells to inactivate antibiotic resistance.

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do ...

Harvard immunologist Dennis Kasper and his colleagues have found that tiny changes in gut bacteria can flip the immune system from calm to inflamed, even when the microbes look harmless. Their work, ...

Bacterial sensory systems represent a dynamic and rapidly evolving area at the intersection of molecular microbiology and biochemistry, where recent ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

A novel CRISPR-based technology can spread within bacterial populations to eliminate antibiotic resistance.

Antibiotics can destroy many types of bacteria, but increasingly, bacterial pathogens are gaining resistance to many commonly used types. As the threat of antibiotic resistance looms large, ...

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

The researchers say the Green Revolution and exclusive selection for aboveground traits in corn — ignoring traits related to ...
