ETVAX is the first vaccine that offers significant protection against pathogenic E. coli in children ...

Viruses and bacteria are not responsible for all infections diseases. Many infectious diseases are caused by viruses and bacteria. But there are also other types of pathogens that cause illness.

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a sophisticated molecular apparatus that many Gram‐negative bacterial pathogens deploy to inject effector proteins directly into host cells. This machinery ...

Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal disease—with symptoms often misidentified as cholera—in humans and animals.

In many cases, the fundamental differences between harmless microbes and those that are considered to be harmful, i.e., common pathogenic, can be attributed to genes encoded on mobile elements such as ...

Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Bacteria are everywhere, even in our bodies. While some might be dangerous, many have beneficial, positive roles. Researchers have now found that there are lactobacilli in the urinary tracts of human ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...
