University of Oregon researchers are helping to uncover the mechanisms at work when one ingests contaminated food or water.

Each year, most species of bacteria in a Wisconsin lake rapidly evolved, apparently in response to dramatically changing seasons, and then evolved back.

The WHO said there were more than 400 recorded cases of an undiagnosed disease in the DRC between October 24 and December 5.

After Hurricane Ian, for example, the state recorded a 1,100% increase in cases over the five-year average. As storm surges bring contaminated waters inland, the bacteria can spread far beyond coastal ...

Satellite data could help address rising rates of vibriosis infections, often the result of eating undercooked seafood, along ...

Researchers explored how Vibrio cholerae bacteria cause intense gut contractions through immune system activation, ...

Representation of excreted (sec/SPI-SPII or type IX secretion) glycosyl hydrolases in the genomes of soda lake cellulotrophic bacteria and their saccharolytic ... for practical applications. For ...

Scientists are calling for a halt to the creation of “mirror bacteria,” synthetic microorganisms built from the reversed molecular building blocks of natural life. According to a comprehensive ...

"Mirror bacteria" being developed in labs could be ... The chirality of a molecule can determine its structure and function. For example, the drug thalidomide exists as two different chiralities ...

A leading group of scientists has said research aimed at developing synthetic 'mirror' bacteria should be halted because it could pose an existential threat to humanity. The coalition of 38 ...

A new study from the University of Oregon shows how one kind of bacteria, Vibrio cholerae, triggers those painful contractions by activating the immune system. The research also finds a more ...
