anaerobic gram-positive cocci, and Fusobacterium species. The presence of these bacteria is only "normal" if the titer of resident flora is low. When bacterial titers exceed 1000 colony forming ...

Weighing in at nearly 2 kilos, our gut bacteria seem to play an even bigger role than was previously thought. These bacteria ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

Lung transplant recipients are highly susceptible to infection, the researchers noted, and P. aeruginosa is a leading cause ...

Our guts are home to trillions of bacteria, and research over the last few decades has established how essential they are to our physiology—in health and disease. A new study from EMBL Heidelberg ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide ...

Antibiotics are indispensable for treating bacterial infections. But why are they sometimes ineffective, even when the ...

Now researchers ... A Common Mouth and Gut Bacteria May Be Linked With Increased Stroke Risk Jan. 30, 2025 — Increased levels of Streptococcus anginosus, a common type of bacteria that usually ...

This discovery could also have implications in studies of polymer-secreting conglomerations of bacteria known as biofilms—the slippery goo on river rocks, for example—and in industrial ...

Tests on the "mysterious balls" which led to the closure of several Australian beaches last week have revealed they were made up partially of faecal bacteria. Nine beaches in Sydney were closed by ...
