Australian researchers have developed a powerful new way to target deadly, drug-resistant bacteria by designing antibodies that recognize a sugar found only on bacterial cells—an advance that could ...

A pilot study has found evidence of Bartonella and Babesia infection in almost half of 50 blood samples from patients suffering chronic fatigue syndrome, also called myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).

Plant‐pathogenic fungi rely on finely tuned cellular processes to invade host tissues and sustain infection. This study ...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a disruption of infection rates of many common respiratory diseases in children. However, the ...

Simple, uncomplicated SSSIs include erysipelas, cellulitis, furuncles, superficial abscesses and wound infections, whereas deeper complicated SSSIs (cSSSIs) include necrotizing fasciitis, myositis and ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in the accuracy and speed at which often deadly pathogen infections can be identified and treated. This is time that, in many cases, is critical to saving a ...

Communication between parasites and their hosts is a central determinant of infection outcome, shaping parasite survival, tissue tropism, immune modulation, ...

A collaborative team has re-engineered the process of microbial pathogen identification in blood samples from pediatric sepsis patients using broad-spectrum pathogen capture technology. The advance ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

July 16, 2010 (Atlanta, Georgia) — The incidence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 and Shigella infections has decreased, but there have been limited declines in the incidence of ...
