Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

The Forum on Microbial Threats will host a public workshop to examine how genomics technologies have been applied to disease surveillance and response and identify potential opportunities for broader ...

Researchers are unlocking the mystery of how bacteria harness viruses to wipe out the competition. The answers could help spur the development of alternatives to antibiotics. Bacteriophages, viruses ...

Environmental monitoring is increasingly being asked to look beyond conventional chemical pollution.For decades, water ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

The rise of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens presents a serious threat to human and animal health, potentially leading to millions of deaths in the coming ...

Ensuring pharmaceutical safety and efficacy hinges on rigorous quality control (QC). By identifying potential microbial contaminants early in drug development and production, microbial QC tests ...

Microbes or chemical contaminants may enter the food chain at any point from farm to fork, causing foodborne illnesses. Different factors such as an individual's susceptibility and a microbe’s ...
