New Delhi [India], December 23: Across the globe, digestive disorders are rising, and nowhere is this more evident than in regions with high rates of Helicobacter pylori infection -- a bacterium carried by nearly half the world's population. In India and other Asian countries, H. pylori prev
Scientists have discovered new anti-ageing compounds produced by a little-studied blood bacterium, opening up promising avenues for future skin-rejuvenation therapies.
New research shows that the gum disease bacterium P. gingivalis can slip into the bloodstream and infiltrate the heart. There, it quietly drives scar tissue buildup -- distorting the heart's architecture, disrupting electrical signals, and raising the risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib).
According to a recent study evaluating how various strains migrate across mixed populations in cosmopolitan cities, the chances of an exposed person becoming infected with TB vary depending on whether the human and the bacterium share a hometown.
Researchers discovered new antibiotic molecules that target Mycobacterium tuberculosis and make it less pathogenic for humans in collaboration with research partners in Germany and France. Furthermore, some of the found compounds may enable for the re-treatment of tuberculosis with existing
CRS is an inflammatory disease that lasts at least 12 weeks and can cause nasal congestion, nasal discharge, difficulty breathing through the nose, face pain, and even loss of sense of smell.
A Duke Health team has discovered a way to launch a molecular warhead that can eradicate the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, using a method that has demonstrated promise in targeting cancer tumours.
An international team of scientists led by University of Vienna microbiologist Alexander Loy discovered new gut bacteria that just consume taurine and produce the noxious chemical hydrogen sulphide. As a result, the researchers have improved our understanding of the microbial pathways that h
An international team of scientists led by University of Vienna microbiologist Alexander Loy identified a new gut bacteria that feeds only on taurine and creates the foul-smelling gas hydrogen sulphide. The researchers have therefore added to our understanding of those microbial mechanisms t
