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 ...

Chronic wound infections are often difficult to treat, partly due to bacteria like Enterococcus faecalis. This study shows that this bacterium can live inside human cells, where it is protected from ...

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 ...

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

Muyyarikkandy lab’s research is focused on the One Health approach, emphasizing the intricate connection between human, animal, and environmental health. With a specialized focus on host-pathogen ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all ...

You've heard that mitochondria are the "powerhouse of the cell." Now get ready for "mitochondria are the infantry of the cell!" UCLA microbiologists have discovered that in addition to producing ...

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 ...

Successful infection often depends on a pathogen’s ability to evade host immune cell detection through stealthy mechanisms. After a person inhales Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) into their lungs, ...

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