Colorectal cancer is on the rise among young adults. An international research effort led by UC San Diego bioengineers has uncovered that DNA mutations arising during early childhood from a bacterial ...

There are many ways of classifying bacteria. One method is based on the cell membrane. In 1884, a bacteriologist named Christian Gram created a test that could determine if a bacterium had a thick ...

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered rabbit ticks in Maine that carry a new strain of bacteria that can cause life-threatening spotted fever infections in humans ...

One way is to engineer multi-enzyme complexes that mimic the bacterial cellulosomal system, known to increase degradation efficiency up to 50-fold when compared to freely-secreted enzymes. However, ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bacterial infections of the urinary tract. The most common type of UTI is cystitis which occurs in the lower portion of the urinary tract when bacteria enter the ...

A recent study reveals a potential link between childhood exposure to colibactin, a bacterial toxin produced by certain E. coli strains, and the rising rates of early-onset colorectal cancer.

Gastroenterologist Dr. Joseph Salhab joins 'Fox & Friends' to examine a new study on the effects of pathogenic gut bacteria and tips for limiting exposure to harmful bacteria.

Now, researchers have developed a building material made of mycelium—the tubular, branching filaments found in most fungi—and bacteria cells. As detailed in a study published last week in the ...

Both pneumonia and bronchitis can develop from bacteria or viruses that cause respiratory infections. Bronchitis is limited to the bronchial tubes that bring air to your lungs, while pneumonia ...
