Using light to manipulate cells is leading to some startling findings.
One common terrestrial bacterium has been found to grow in the microgravity of the International Space Station than on Earth, although it remains a mystery why.
While antibiotics can kill the bacteria associated with acne, it’s their anti-inflammatory effects, not their antimicrobial effects, that yield the biggest skin-clearing benefits.
Scientists have discovered the first easy-to-grow bacteria that can break down plastics.
There are demands for older children to get the MenB vaccine – but what is the thinking behind the current guidance?
Illness from prepackaged salads isn’t uncommon. So how do we protect ourselves from illness when eating salads?
While some ancient therapies proved effective enough that they are still used in some form today, on the whole they just aren’t as good as modern antimicrobials at treating infections.
Should you double-dip? A food scientist explains what’s lurking in the depths of your salsa.
There are more bacteria in the ocean than stars in the known universe. New genetic techniques are letting us use microbes as early warning systems for oceans in trouble from pollution and other stresses.
New research shows that bacteria is thriving on the ISS. But is that really such a bad thing?
Necrotising fasciitis is a serious infection that affects the soft tissue.
There is no harm in avoiding white coats, but there could be danger in wearing one.
A food scientist explains the nitty gritty of the five-second rule.
Biosafety needs to be about more than personal protective equipment and safe laboratory practices. Don’t forget the cybersecurity.
We don’t trust bacteria and we don’t trust GM, so putting them together might be controversial. That’s exactly what we’re doing, though.
It’s a deadly bacterium that can spread like wildfire. New research suggests Yersinia pestis first developed its ability to cause lung infection and then evolved to be highly infectious.
About 10% of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions come from farming. Researchers are working on ways to address this piece of the global warming puzzle.
Biofilms have developed to let nutrients in but keep antimicrobials out.
A naturally-occurring system discovered in bacteria holds promise as a way to fight pathogens – very specifically and without the risk of antibiotic resistance.
