The gut bacteria B. adolescentis eased lung scarring in a pulmonary fibrosis mouse model, showing potential as a preventive ...

Inflammatory gut bacteria that carry proteins structurally similar to myelin may trigger the development and progression of ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

Researchers have long believed that Propionibacterium acnes causes acne. But these bacteria are plentiful on everyone's skin and yet not everyone gets acne, or experiences it to the same degree.

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Antibiotic resistance represents a major public health challenge, associated with a high mortality rate. While bacteriophages -- viruses that kill bacteria -- could be a solution for fighting ...

Escherichia coli is one of the most-studied of all bacteria, but there’s still much we do not know about it. A new computer model developed at UC Davis will help scientists design experiments to ...
