Researchers have discovered a strong immunological effect of the molecule LecB -- and a way to prevent it. Many bacterial species use sugar-binding molecules called lectins to attach to and invade ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria have a remarkable ability to adapt, and they grow easily in many environments, including soil and freshwater. These bugs can take up residence in many places, including ...

The viruses that infect bacteria are the most abundant biological entities on the planet. For example, a recent simple study of 92 showerheads and 36 toothbrushes from American bathrooms found more ...

A new study describes the use of phage therapy to eradicate multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in a living organism (in vivo) with important new implications for antibiotic ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa—an environmental bacteria that can cause devastating multidrug-resistant infections, particularly in people with underlying lung conditions—evolved rapidly and then spread ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile gram-negative bacterium that thrives in a wide array of habitats, from soil and water to medical devices and human tissues. Its capacity to sense ...

Antibiotic resistant bacteria are experts in evolving new strategies to avoid being killed by antibiotics. This biofilm can be so thick and gooey that antibiotic cannot penetrate the cell surface and ...
