The new GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA vaccine can be delivered as a nasal spray. Three doses protected mice from infection from SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses for three months, and reduced the viral load in ...

While microbes are everywhere in the world, and in our bodies, many pose no threat to us. Others, however, can be very dangerous. There are many strains of Escherichia coli, some of which can live ...

Researchers have developed a targeted approach to combat periodontitis without disrupting the natural balance of the oral ...

Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut ...

Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have discovered how certain pathogenic bacteria in gut and breast tissue can promote breast cancer development and progression by hijacking a key ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs and Yale University have created a system for engineering the first fully synthetic bacteriophages that could help with future clinical development of phage ...

Plastic products are ubiquitous in our food supply chain, shedding microplastics into every part of the human ecosystem. As they degrade, microplastics break down into even smaller fragments called ...

Balance must be maintained among the trillions of microbes that live in the gastrointestinal tract. The gut microbiome has to host enough beneficial microbes to help control the levels of potentially ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the term "Polymerase Chain Reaction testing" into the mainstream. The PCR method is a type of nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) that detects a pathogen by finding ...

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...

Bacteria frozen for thousands of years could hold the key to developing new antibiotics, researchers have found.
