A new study will investigate whether prenatal antibiotic use impairs breast milk immune function and disrupts neonatal gut ...

But what about a virus that doesn’t make people sick — just the bacteria that infects people, effectively destroying it? That’s what bacteriophages — or, simply, phages — are ...

Biofilms are an important, but incompletely understood, form of growth and survival for many bacteria. Recent evidence reveals that biofilms are structurally complex, dynamic systems that have ...

Fungi, especially filamentous fungi, are a relatively understudied ... nonredundant reference sequences is 398 for fungi compared with 37,232 for bacteria. (16) Improving the state of public fungal ...

In the quest to take the “forever” out of “forever chemicals,” bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...

In this illustration, we show how the change in population dynamic of gut microbes suppresses or drives multiple sclerosis. The increase in proinflammatory bacteria induces differentiation of Th1/Th17 ...

The mammalian gut microbial community, known as the gut microbiota, comprises trillions of bacteria, which co-evolved with the host and has an important role in a variety of host functions that ...
