In an article published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from the University of Texas developed a microscopic 3D printing strategy to study communication between…
Bacteria and mould found in the dust created by vacuums could lead to health problems in people with allergies, infants and…
A study on bacteria in streams and river sediments of the Chicago metropolitan region has found an increased presence of…
New research has successfully mapped the structure of the membrane protein known as BamA, which is found in bacteria highly…
What do bankers and bacteria have in common? Finite resources, quick decision-making and an appreciation of trade-offs, according to a study in Ecology Letters. So could bacterial modelling ever help us…
Research on bacteria could be used to create new bioinsectides and protect crops, a study has shown. A team of researchers…
Scientists have discovered a new way of distinguishing between childhood fevers caused by viral infections and those caused by bacteria, according to a new study published today. The new finding paves…
Paper towels are more efficient than hot air dryers, a study has revealed. The study looked at drying efficiency and bacteria…
New research has found that breeding programs for endangered animals could send disease out into the wild. Brush-tail rock…
Researchers have developed a simpler and faster way of producing designer bacteria used in biotechnology processes. It is…
Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms abundant in nature that can’t be seen with the naked eye. In fact, there are approximately five multiplied by 10³¹ bacteria on the earth, constituting 90% of its…
Using copper objects in hospitals reduces infection rates, a US study has found. Patients were randomly assigned to rooms…
Vaginal thrush, or “vulvovaginal candidiasis” is a common condition, with around three-quarters of women experiencing an episode in their lifetime. Many readers may be familiar with the unpleasant symptoms…
Cicada wings have been discovered to be the first natural surface to kill bacteria through their structure. Researches at…
In a chance sighting, scientists have managed to study the ecology of a whale carcass, found in an undersea crater beneath…
The most abundant bacteria on record are also the hosts of the most abundant viruses, a result found by researchers from…
The more we look, the more we realise just how important intact ecosystems are for our own well-being - and it really doesn’t matter at which scale we are looking. When Alan Cooper, Director of the Australian…
Antibiotics joined our growing arsenal of weapons in the fight against disease over seventy years ago. Their target – the bacterial infections that putrefied our wounds, filled our lungs with pneumonia…
Scientist have observed E. coli bacteria evolve a new function. They documented three stages of changes, including a complicated…
