Viruses and bacteria are not responsible for all infections diseases. Many infectious diseases are caused by viruses and bacteria. But there are also other types of pathogens that cause illness.

Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists are elucidating the ways ...

Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines ...

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a sophisticated molecular apparatus that many Gram‐negative bacterial pathogens deploy to inject effector proteins directly into host cells. This machinery ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

Humans have long had a love-hate relationship with bacteria. While there are bacterial strains that humans cannot live without, such as those that help us digest our food and bolster our immune ...

As a grad student in cell biology, Shaeri Mukherjee was always on the lookout for new ways to fiddle with cells’ internal structures. It was the early 2000s, and Mukherjee was working in Dennis ...

The researchers thus expect that this type of treatment could be adapted for use against other bacterial pathogens. "The recently published findings open up a new and innovative way to fight ...
