A trusted and essential resource for more than four decades, Laboratory Guide for Identification of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria returns in a fully updated fourth edition. This guide remains the most ...

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are commonly associated with an increased risk of developing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Globally, many patients are affected by HAIs, which has ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

Bacteria are everywhere, even in our bodies. While some might be dangerous, many have beneficial, positive roles. Researchers have now found that there are lactobacilli in the urinary tracts of human ...

While microbes are everywhere in the world, and in our bodies, many pose no threat to us. Others, however, can be very dangerous. There are many strains of Escherichia coli, some of which can live ...

Throughout the past few decades, antimicrobial resistance has been on the rise as a result of increased antibiotic use. Like an arms race played out on a tiny scale, pathogenic microbes develop ...

In a recent study published in The Lancet, researchers presented comprehensive global estimates of the mortality burden related to 33 species or genera of bacterial pathogenic organisms causing 11 ...

Researchers have uncovered a key link between the spread of antibiotic resistance genes and the evolution of resistance to new drugs in certain pathogens. Bacteria exposed to higher levels of ...

Earlier this year, a spate of deaths in Florida caused by Vibrio vulnificus, known as the flesh-eating bacteria, made ...
