When you read the word “bacteria” you probably think about illness, advertisements for “probiotic” food supplements, and maybe about brushing your teeth. Chances are, you probably don’t think about electricity…

Could contemporary plague outbreaks such as those that have hit Peru and the USA have their origins in the medieval era? It would seem so. A paper published in Nature today reports a genome sequence taken…
Bacteria known as anammox germs can transform ammonia into into hydrazine, a type of rocket fuel. For the first time since…
The discovery that the protein D13 is common to poxvirus and viruses that infect bacteria could be of of interest to both…
We know, because it’s big news, that drug-resistant infections are on the rise globally. But could Australian mammals hold the key to a fightback? Our current crop of antibiotics is in danger of becoming…
Reusable tourniquets could be responsible for transmitting superbugs in hospitals, according to research published in the…
Genetically modified bacteria might provide a new way to clean up waterways contaminated with mercury. The bacteria contains…
New research shows salmonella bacteria have modified, attacking the protein-building process to sustain its capacity to create…
Research has revealed, in unprecedented detail, how parasites use different nutrients needed for growth, showing unique drug…
The genomes of the recent German E. coli outbreak have revealed crucial insights into the origins of this deadly strain. The bacteria was found in German bean sprouts but it didn’t originate from the gut…
A “designer” probiotic bacterium that binds and neutralises the toxin produced by E. coli was produced by University of Adelaide…
E. coli is a common germ that has traditionally caused blood stream infections and urinary tract infections. The virulent strain we’re seeing in Europe which has infected more than 1500 people and killed…
The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, or “superbugs” is a critical global health issue. Paradoxically, while there is a compelling need for new antibiotics, their development has slowed…
The protein structure that enables bacterial cells to transfer electrical charge has been discovered, potentially opening…
We depend on antibiotics to treat what previously were fatal conditions. But the more we use them, the more the bacteria they fight become resistant to all the weapons in our arsenal. Bacterial resistance…
The World Health Organisation’s World Health Day is dedicated to the threat posed by the rapid emergence of drug resistant organisms. Viruses, parasites and bacteria have all developed some resistance…
Antibiotics started out as the biggest medical breakthrough of the 20th century but overuse in humans and animals has led to resistance and reduced efficacy. We’re now at risk of reverting back to a pre-antibiotic…
