New research demonstrates how specially engineered bacteria taken orally can operate as a delivery system for vaccines and antiviral therapies.

New research from the University of Cincinnati demonstrates how specially engineered bacteria taken orally can operate as a ...

It was predicted that 27.4% of viruses were associated with microbial host populations, and the majority of the predicted vOTUs are linked to dominant bacteria and archaea. Metabolic predictions ...

A virus long dismissed as a scientific oddity has been found hiding in plain sight, and it may help fight dangerous bacteria, according to a study. The study focussed on bacteriophages (phages ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of immune defense in E. coli bacteria that turns viral infection machinery against the virus itself. Named after the Chinese military strategist Kongming—who ...

bacteria and bacteria-eating viruses. For the bacterial species that inhabit your gut, there's a frenzy of viruses called bacteriophages that naturally infect them. Although they co-evolved with ...

Your gut microbiome teems with bacteria-eating viruses that have longed baffled scientists. Using a new mouse model that can eliminate and revive these virus communities, Virginia Tech biologists ...

and swimming in any natural water body presents the risk of coming into contact with potentially harmful bacteria and viruses,” she said. Toby Cox is on the Rising Waters team. Reach her at tcox ...

Strains YM3 and HT1 require activation in de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe (MRS) broth medium before inoculation and detection of viable bacteria by the plate count method (Chen et al., 2022). The plastic ...

can make bees more susceptible to bacteria and viruses. When, say, a plastic water bottle, ends up in a ditch or in a river, it disintegrates with the help of the sun, water and wind into ever ...

In a breakthrough with wide-reaching implications for infection control, scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a new paint-on coating that kills harmful bacteria and viruses on ...
