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" ...

Scientists have discovered why antibiotic resistance sometimes shoots up dramatically in people with cystic fibrosis, ...

Helpful microbes that combat harmful pathogens could be the answer to rising antimicrobial resistance—particularly within ...

We share the world with myriad creatures from microbes to plants, and it’s been said that we are all connected. In recent years, scientists have shown just how much of an impact microbes can have on ...

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...

Antibiotics usually save lives—but against some bacteria, they can make things worse. That’s the case with the Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli, where bacterial death releases a flood of a ...

The issue of intestinal bacteria is a complex one. On the one hand, we are dependent on the microorganisms because they are the ones that digest the food in our intestine. On the other hand, there are ...

Virus-only testing may miss pneumonia-associated bacterial co-detections in 78% of virus-positive cases, while bacteria-only testing may miss viral co-detections in 88% of cases positive for pneumonia ...

When harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as E. coli, invade through the digestive tract, gut cells usually fight back by pushing infected cells out of the body to stop the infection from ...

An international research team headed by scientists at Vanderbilt University Medical Center has shown how an intestinal pathogen reshapes the gut environment to fuel its own colonization and cause ...
