When our body is attacked by a pathogen, the pathogen has to find ways to evade our immune system and invade our cells to cause infection and illness. Reporting in Cell, researchers have now ...

Diverse soil microbial communities may help suppress pathogens naturally, acting as a biological barrier against their ...

The pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa breaching through the respiratory epithelia of a human lung microtissue model, captured via Scanning Electron Microscopy. How do pathogens invade the ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen that causes severe and life-threatening pneumonia. According to the WHO, it is one of the world’s most dangerous bacterial pathogens that are resistant ...

We present the complete genomes of two human pathogens, Bartonella quintana (1,581,384 bp) and Bartonella henselae (1,931,047 bp). The two pathogens maintain several similarities in being transmitted ...

New research suggests drought can stoke antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria, and those genes can end up in human pathogens.

The Atlantic Forest, extending along Brazil’s eastern coast, was once among the most biodiverse ecosystems globally.

Some pathogens use temperature as a trigger and activate virulence only after entering the warmer environment of a host. A research team from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and the University of ...

The federal government says new amendments to legislation governing the handling of dangerous biological materials will ...

How do pathogens invade the lungs? Using human lung microtissues, a team has uncovered the strategy used by a dangerous pathogen. The bacterium targets specific lung cells and has developed a ...
