Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...

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 ...

Researchers have revealed how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), releases lactic acid to acidify its surroundings and suppress the immune-cell signal needed to start a proper ...

Bacteria block the immune system with lactic acid and cause infections to become chronic, revealing why some wounds don't ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular 'slime' when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

Identification of bacteriophage-derived enzyme and its antibacterial activity can contribute to novel therapies that target biofilm-forming bacteria and help in the treatment against acute ...
