An international collaboration between researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Oxford University, and University of Sheffield has revealed that colonies of slow moving ...

A new case study from researchers at Oxford University has tracked, for the first time, the movement of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from a patient's gut microbiome to their lungs. The research ...

Bacteria are single-celled organisms, and while we know they can move around with filaments, the exact mechanisms behind how they do so has been unclear for many years. Researchers have now used ...

Microbes like viruses and bacteria have adapted to live virtually everywhere, including inside the gastrointestinal tracts of many animals and humans. But how do these microorganisms propogate their ...

Bacteria can begin to transfer to food dropped on the floor in less than one second, according to research from New Brunswick, N.J.-based Rutgers University, effectively disproving the so-called “five ...

Synthetic bacteria becomes smallest lifeform that can move around By Michael Irving December 04, 2022 A microscope image of the helix-shaped bacteria Spiroplasma, proteins from which have been used to ...

If bacteria are in an environment that includes obstacles, which is often the case, they can easily become slowed or trapped. When a bacterium hits a roadblock, it can either slide along the surface ...

A research team studied how bacteria swim in complex fluids, providing insight into how the microorganisms move through different environments, such as their natural habitats or inside the human body.

Many of the bacteria that cause flesh-eating infections thrive in warmer climates. One of these bacteria, Vibrio vulnificus, has been found in unexpected areas due to climate change. Wounds infected ...

Cholera is a deadly bacterial disease that kills about 95,000 people every year. Vibrio cholerae bacteria infect cells in the small intestine, which the bacteria can do in part due to their ...

Recent research has identified practical ways to protect and deliver oxygen-sensitive gut bacteria for a path toward safer, ...

Gut bacteria evolve rapidly in response to different diets, UCLA evolutionary biologists report in a new study. The ...
