With the genome sequencing, the researchers estimated that the bacteria in the two urine samples diverged from a common ...

Another last-resort antibiotic has fallen victim to the rapid evolution of drug-resistant superbugs. The powerful antibiotic combination ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA), widely used to treat severe ...

Bacteria have spent decades evolving resistance to virtually every antibiotic we have thrown at them. To stay ahead, new ...

A sharp rise in streptococcal bacteria infections from between 1998 and 2009 caused scientists to take a closer look at the strain resposible, revealing a new variant that likely triggered the rise in ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do ...

Researchers have come up with a new way to identify more infectious variants of viruses or bacteria that start spreading in humans -- including those causing flu, COVID, whooping cough and ...

Patients heading into surgery for diseased aortic valves are showing up with more than calcium deposits on their tissue.

But, despite the millions of bacterial species out there, so far only around 20,000 have been given Latin names. This deficit is getting worse thanks to the boom in DNA sequencing, which has revealed ...
