In infectious disease research, it is widely accepted that disrupting bacterial communication signals is beneficial. But this ...

A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...

A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have challenged ...

Disrupting quorum sensing in Enterococcus faecalis can backfire, causing larger biofilms, higher antibiotic tolerance, and ...

For many years, scientists believed that stopping bacteria from communicating with each other could help treat infections.

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular “slime” when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

Allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation is a mainstay of treatment for hematologic cancers, and the gut microbiota — the collection of archaea, bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses that reside ...

New research led by the University of Sheffield has discovered how a hospital superbug evades the immune system to cause infection - paving the way for new treatments. The study, led by the University ...

Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...
