Diverse soil microbial communities may help suppress pathogens naturally, acting as a biological barrier against their ...

When our body is attacked by a pathogen, the pathogen has to find ways to evade our immune system and invade our cells to cause infection and illness. Reporting in Cell, researchers have now ...

Animal-borne illnesses that infect humans, known as zoonotic viruses, require little to no evolution before jumping between ...

New research suggests drought can stoke antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria — and that can have an impact on humans.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen that causes severe and life-threatening pneumonia. According to the WHO, it is one of the world’s most dangerous bacterial pathogens that are resistant ...

The pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa breaching through the respiratory epithelia of a human lung microtissue model, captured via Scanning Electron Microscopy. How do pathogens invade the ...

We present the complete genomes of two human pathogens, Bartonella quintana (1,581,384 bp) and Bartonella henselae (1,931,047 bp). The two pathogens maintain several similarities in being transmitted ...

New research suggests drought can stoke antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria, and those genes can end up in human pathogens.

A new method that captures and detects ‘hidden’ diazo metabolites has identified two of them in a bacterium that causes lung ...

How do pathogens invade the lungs? Using human lung microtissues, a team has uncovered the strategy used by a dangerous pathogen. The bacterium targets specific lung cells and has developed a ...
