Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause acute and chronic infections. Responsible for many ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria from proliferating. The study is published in the journal Microbiome.

Bacterial pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to manipulate host cells to establish infection. At a molecular level, this is often mediated by virulence factors that are secreted into host cells ...

Four antibiotic compounds produced in Streptomyces bacteria attack multiple parts of an essential metabolic pathway.

The bacteria enterotoxigenic E. coli and Shigella together cause hundreds of millions of infections each year and are among ...

Definition: A pathogen is a biological agent – such as a bacterium, virus, fungus, parasite or prion – that can cause disease in a host organism. In simple terms: a pathogen is an infectious microbe ...

Infections with ESKAPE pathogens are associated with high mortality rates and other severe outcomes like prolonged hospitalization, higher treatment failure rates, and increased risk of intensive care ...

Sponges are the perfect breeding ground for microorganisms. Here's how to keep them clean—and when to replace them.

The EPA says the presence of enterococci is not typically harmful to humans, but it can indicate other disease-causing agents ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...
