Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists are elucidating the ways ...

While it wasn't clear whether Keaton had any underlying conditions, doctors say "perfectly healthy" people can die from ...

Heme oxygenases are pivotal enzymes that enable pathogenic bacteria to exploit host heme as an essential iron source. By catalysing the oxidative cleavage of heme, these enzymes release iron and ...

For most people, swimming in a lake or river is the best way to cool off on a hot summer's day. But there are more than frogs and fish in those waters – microscopic pathogens that can cause serious ...

Summer is wrapping up, temperatures are high, and the beach is still calling. But there are risks from bacteria, parasites and other pathogens in the water at beaches, pools and water playgrounds.

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

E. coli bacteria are typically harmless, but certain strains, known as Avian Pathogenic E. coli (APEC), can cause serious ...
