Bacterial glycosylation represents a sophisticated mechanism by which pathogens modify both host and bacterial proteins, thereby subverting immune responses and modulating cellular processes. Central ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

Bacteria uses multiple defense mechanisms to survive in the host body. Shigella bacteria, that causes colitis, disable multiple host defense pathways using three specialized effector proteins, as ...

Researchers found that the oral bacterium Streptococcus gordonii activates another bacterial species, Fusobacterium nucleatum, to produce large quantities of methyl mercaptan, a compound responsible ...

Brian P. Lazzaro from Cornell University discusses the role of dynamic feedbacks in determining infection outcomes ...

While many viruses kill their hosts, not all viruses are harmful. In fact, some even benefit the cells they infect. For instance, temperate phages are viruses capable of replicating innocuously inside ...

Research reveals how invisible nanoparticles manipulate cellular messengers, undermining your gut’s delicate microbiome, raising new questions about the unseen health risks of environmental ...

Food additives eaten during pregnancy can change gut bacteria and raise later inflammation and weight gain risk, even without ...

Bacteria use multiple defense mechanisms to survive in the host body. Shigella bacteria that cause colitis disable multiple host defense pathways using three specialized effector proteins, as reported ...
