Baylor University researchers have developed a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.

The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by ...

Intracellular bacterial pathogens pose a major challenge to current antimicrobial therapies due to their ability to survive and replicate within host cells, ...

Learn how bacteria inside marine snow may dissolve shell minerals and influence how the ocean stores carbon.

How can bacteria that forage on organic particles survive in vast ocean regions where such particles are extremely sparse? A ...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at the University of Basel created a new test that tracks individual bacteria ...

Scientists are uncovering a surprising way to influence bacteria—not by killing them, but by changing how they communicate. Researchers studying oral bacteria found that disrupting chemical signals ...
