Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, Cambridge researchers have shown. The team showed that ...

Scientists just invented microscopic knives capable of stabbing and killing bacteria on contact. The germ theory of disease emerged over the last several centuries to explain the way microscopic ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Bacterial eye infections blind millions globally each year, and current antibiotics increasingly fail to stop them. When bacteria develop resistance to drugs, they can withstand ...

Microscopic battles rage around, on and in us at all times, and the microbial combatants use far more exciting weapons than we might realize. Scientists have now observed a bacterium that attacks like ...

The two bacteria that cause bacterial constipation, seen under an electron microscope. Left: Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Top: Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) image; Bottom: Scanning Electron ...

Hospitals and public spaces are locked in a quiet arms race with microbes that cling to surfaces, shrug off disinfectants, and evolve around our best drugs. Now researchers are turning to a Nobel ...
