Microbial bioelectronic sensors use living bacteria that can create an electrical signal in response to the presence of a ...

Baylor University researchers have developed a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.

A study of about 15,000 adults finds a lasting association between the use of certain antibiotics and the balance of the intestinal microbiota. The intestinal microbiota, that community of bacteria ...

Living bacteria generate electrical signals in a new hydrogel sensor that can detect substances in liquids like milk.

For the first time, researchers have analysed the impact of antibiotic use on the rise of treatment-resistant bacteria over the last 20 years in the UK and Norway. They show that while the increase in ...

Most people see their kitchen as a clean space for preparing meals. Yet, some common kitchen items and areas can harbor more ...

The world has a big plastic problem that it's yet to fix. We're trying to reduce our reliance on plastic, but that's seemingly impossible in modern society. The material is too important for our daily ...

When many disease-causing bacteria encounter penicillin, they are not always destroyed right away, shifting into a temporary survival state called antibiotic tolerance. This state allows them to ...

Long before humans became interested in killing bacteria, viruses were on the job. Viruses that attack bacteria, termed “phages” (short for bacteriophage), were first identified by their ability to ...
