Recent work indicates that killing of bacteria by diverse antimicrobial classes can involve reactive oxygen species (ROS), as if a common, self-destructive response to antibiotics occurs. However, the ...

CSU is associated with gut microbiota, with metabolic pathways potentially mediating this link, suggesting new research directions. Accurate CSU diagnosis is difficult due to symptom overlap with ...

Scientists have discovered that erucamide, a plant-produced fatty acid amide, disrupts the function of the bacterial injectosome—a syringe-like nanomachine that some pathogenic bacteria use to help ...

The widely used chemotherapy drug paclitaxel, commonly known as Taxol, was first extracted from the Pacific yew tree in 1963. But while plants have figured out how to manufacture the molecule, for ...

In a study published in Advanced Materials, a research team developed an innovative bacterial cellulose (BC)-based hemostatic dressing that enables rapid and sustained bleeding control. Burn injuries ...

Bacterial vaginosis affects one third of reproductive-aged women, and recurrence is common. Evidence of sexual exchange of bacterial vaginosis–associated organisms between partners suggests that ...
