Listeria monocytogenes is a microscopic organism responsible for foodborne illnesses that frequently result in death. Recently published research shows ...

Bacterial cells grow in colonies called biofilms, which take on new characteristics. For example, a biofilm of bacteria is much tougher to destroy than individual bacterial cells. Researchers at ...

Most bacteria have the ability to form communities, biofilms, that adhere to a wide variety of surfaces and are difficult to remove. This can lead to major problems, for example in hospitals or in the ...

Individual bacterial cells don't have much power on their own, but like other organisms, there is strength in numbers for microbes. Communities of bacterial cells are called biofilms, and these slimy, ...

(Nanowerk News) The vast majority of bacteria in the world live on surfaces by forming structures called “biofilms”. These communities host thousands to millions of bacteria of different types, and ...

If you could see a piece of celery that’s been magnified 10,000 times, you’d know what the scientists fighting foodborne pathogens are up against, said University of Illinois microbiologist Hans ...

Biofilms are responsible for most chronic infections and are notoriously resilient and hard to treat. Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a technique to move and position a ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae are tiny bacteria typically known to cause lung infections. But now, a group of scientists have turned them into double agents. Genetically engineered Mycoplasma helped break ...

Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...
