Intracellular bacterial pathogens pose a major challenge to current antimicrobial therapies due to their ability to survive and replicate within host cells, ...

Salmonella bacteria (red) cause up to a million deaths a year worldwide and there is a need for effective vaccines. New work from UC Davis shows how salmonella-specific T-cells can be stimulated to ...

Some bacteria do not defeat antibiotics by evolving resistance right away—they outlast treatment by slipping into ...

For years scientists have puzzled over why the intracellular pathogen Salmonella is able to survive—and thrive—in human and animal tissues, even within otherwise hostile cells that are part of the ...

DNA scaffolds organize silver nanoclusters into potent antimicrobials that precisely kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria, ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen responsible for tuberculosis, has evolved a remarkably layered set of molecular tricks that allow it to survive and even thrive inside the very immune cells ...

Baylor University researchers have developed a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a ...

New research reveals mechanisms to detect and weaken TB bacteria, offering hope against drug resistance on World TB Day.

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have identified the mechanism by which pathogenic Bordetella bacteria promote the colonization of mammalian airways.

Strains of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) cause the majority of all urinary tract infections. Host defense mechanisms and antibiotic treatments kill most of the bacteria, but some can remain ...
