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 ...

We have become much more aware of all of the surfaces we touch daily and what kinds of germs can be on them. The Microbiology Lab at the Medical College of Georgia conducted an experiment with ...

Instead of killing bacteria, scientists found a way to gently guide gut microbes to produce compounds linked to longevity and healthier aging.

Scientists at LSU have patented a novel way to kill cancer cells using staph bacteria, sometimes called the “superbug.” ...

Microbial activity underpins numerous processes in natural, industrial and clinical systems. Isothermal calorimetry has emerged as a sensitive, non-invasive technique to quantify the metabolic heat ...

More than 3.5 billion years ago, the Earth was not the hospitable world we know today. The atmosphere lacked oxygen, the seas were acidic and rich in iron, and volcanic activity roared across a barren ...

Do they become “snowbirds” and relocate to warmer climates until spring? Do they hibernate like bears? Or do they continue to do the jobs they do so well, waiting for spring and fresh plantings to ...

New research by Patrick Sorensen at the University of Rhode Island reveals a vulnerable process as snowpacks shrink, ...

Antimicrobial resistance - when bacteria and fungi defend themselves against the drugs design to kill them - is an urgent threat to global public health, according to the Centers for Disease Control ...

A dominant paradigm in ecology is that plants are limited by nitrogen (N) during primary succession. Whether generalizable patterns of nutrient limitation are also applicable to metabolically and ...
