When our body is attacked by a pathogen, the pathogen has to find ways to evade our immune system and invade our cells to cause infection and illness. Reporting in Cell, researchers have now ...

The pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa breaching through the respiratory epithelia of a human lung microtissue model, captured via Scanning Electron Microscopy. How do pathogens invade the ...

We present the complete genomes of two human pathogens, Bartonella quintana (1,581,384 bp) and Bartonella henselae (1,931,047 bp). The two pathogens maintain several similarities in being transmitted ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen that causes severe and life-threatening pneumonia. According to the WHO, it is one of the world’s most dangerous bacterial pathogens that are resistant ...

Finding out how microbes make compounds containing the diazo chemical group could help researchers to synthesize useful ...

A new study by researchers at Kiel University and MPI-EvolBio describes how more efficient protein production drives the adaptation of fungi to the human body, potentially turning previously harmless ...

A new way to map the spread and evolution of pathogens, and their responses to vaccines and antibiotics, will provide key insights to help predict and prevent future outbreaks. The approach combines a ...

Wastewater treatment fails to kill several human pathogens when they hide out on microplastics in the water, reports a new study led by Ingun Lund Witsø of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, ...

More than half of human pathogens may be aggravated by climate change and this is accelerating disease transmission, according to a new report. It’s already been a record year for new and amplified ...

How do pathogens invade the lungs? Using human lung microtissues, a team has uncovered the strategy used by a dangerous pathogen. The bacterium targets specific lung cells and has developed a ...
