A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have challenged the widely held assumption in infectious disease research that blocking ...
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.
The incidence of enterococcal infections has been increasing over the past few years, with rising rates of multidrug resistance. VRE is increasingly a problem in many hospitals and intensive care ...
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 ...
Researchers have discovered 18 new species of Enterococcus type bacteria from soil samples collected from all corners of the globe, which may offer new clues to the origins of antibiotic-resistant ...
When scientists sampled soil and animal poop from around the world, they found a whopping 18 new species of Enterococcus, the purple stained bacteria pictured above. Credit: CDC, Dr. Mike Miller ...
In infectious disease research, disrupting bacterial communication is widely considered beneficial. A study by UNIGE and NTU Singapore shows this is not always true.
