A protein found in oysters has been identified as an outright killer of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and to strengthen ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

Further, bacteria form biofilms on every probable substratum, and their infections have been found in plants, livestock, and humans. The advent of novel strategies for treating and preventing biofilm ...

Bacteria in the gut have been implicated in autoimmune diseases, like lupus, that don’t primarily affect the gastrointestinal system. But how those bacteria affect the human immune system remains ...

These mineralo-organic NPs resemble biological lifeforms like bacteria in terms of morphology, growth, proliferation and subculture. Formation of mineralo-organic NPs in the human body Bions ...

Similar structures were observed in human vegetations 99 ... and the pathogenesis of endocarditis as a biofilm disease is consistent with bacteria growing in biofilms. However, these reports ...

In addition, testing revealed that the protein was not toxic to human lung cells ... the protein works by disrupting the “biofilms” that bacteria often form within the body.

This same toughening process occurs in bacterial cells in the human body: When the infections move from acute to chronic, the envelopes change and the diseases become very difficult, or impossible ...
