Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Most people see their kitchen as a clean space for preparing meals. Yet, some common kitchen items and areas can harbor more ...

New study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not just the classic idea of dormancy. The researchers show that some cells enter ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria get extra nutrients and thrive when the drugs kill ‘good’ bacteria in the gut. This is according to new research led by Imperial College London scientists, which could ...

Researchers have found a bacteriocin that can help inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing global problem. Part of the solution ...

Rice is a staple food consumed globally, but it also comes with its own set of food safety concerns. Recent research has highlighted how improper storage and reheating can lead to serious health risks ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory conditions. A critical factor, however, is whether the active substances actually ...

How can bacteria that forage on organic particles survive in vast ocean regions where such particles are extremely sparse? A ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria get extra nutrients and thrive when the drugs kill 'good' bacteria in the gut, according to new research that could lead to better patient risk assessment and 'microbiome ...
