(Nanowerk News) Bacterial spores are one of nature’s most resilient organisms. These tiny, seed-like structures form when bacteria enter a dormant state to survive unfavorable conditions. They can ...

In a recent study published in BMC Microbiology, researchers developed the Novel Organism Verification and Analysis (NOVA) algorithm to systematically analyze bacterial isolates unidentified using ...

These self-propelling microscopic particles use tailor-made viruses to recognize specific bacteria strains. The viruses bind to matching bacteria to form unique sandwich structures that are then ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens our ability to prevent and treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. To better monitor the emergence and spread of resistance, ...

Ropar have unveiled a cutting-edge diagnostic approach that could transform how bacterial infections are identified in ...

Scientists have created a new way to detect intestinal bleeding that takes just 20 minutes. That’s a major improvement over the usual 10 hour or more time frame. The trick? Bacteria packed inside tiny ...

A cutting-edge test can now identify the source of feces faster and more accurately than previous methods. Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist with nearly two decades of newsroom experience.

The limits of conventional bathing water monitoring are becoming harder to ignore.Many of these sites sit close to treated ...
