Scientists have found that antibodies stop UTI-causing E. coli by jamming or mimicking cell receptors, preventing bacterial ...

Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines ...

Certain antibodies employ unusual tactics to keep germs from attaching to cells in our bodies. Their defensive strategies ...

Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The discovery, which may be important for research into developing ...

Scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage invaders -- by seizing genetic material from weakened, dormant phages and using it to 'vaccinate' ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Andrew Monteith receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Research from my colleagues and I revealed that mitochondria play another key role in your immune response: sensing bacterial ...
