Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria.

Stanford University researchers report that ciprofloxacin use drives persistent antibiotic resistance in human gut bacteria, ...

Mice overcame a Lyme disease infection after being given an antibiotic that is often used for pneumonia, and its effect on ...

The modern Western-style diet—high in processed foods, red meat, dairy products, and sugar—alters the composition of the gut ...

Scientists built a model that allows them to diminish phage communities from a mouse gut microbiome -- and then bring them back -- without affecting the bacteria. On a test run of their model, ...

Birmingham scientists have identified an essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to "displace" ...

Scientists have long known that bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, live in our gut, but exactly what they do has ...

Some things just go together in your belly: peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, bacteria and bacteria-eating viruses.

In a nutshell The antibiotic piperacillin has shown remarkable effectiveness against Lyme disease-causing bacteria, Borrelia ...

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a growing health threat, but its evolution outside laboratory settings is poorly understood. Bacteria living in the human gut are now found to evolve ...

a new study showed how even a short period of antibiotic use can lead to persistent resistance in human gut bacteria. Researchers from the Stanford University in the US focused their study on ...
