Infectious diseases severely threaten public health and global biosafety. In addition to transmission through the air, pathogenic microorganisms have also been detected in environmental liquid samples ...

Integrating metagenomics and bioinformatics enhances food safety, enabling early detection of microbial risks and supporting ...

A groundbreaking seven-year study reveals how metagenomic sequencing offers a more accurate, comprehensive approach to diagnosing difficult CNS infections—spotting pathogens that traditional tests ...

Children frequently carry bacterial pathogens in the upper throat and airways that could cause pneumonia. But just because ...

Pathogenicity is the potential capacity of certain species of microbes to cause an infectious process. It is characterised by a complex of pathogenic properties in the microbe formed in the process of ...

Microbes or chemical contaminants may enter the food chain at any point from farm to fork, causing foodborne illnesses. Different factors such as an individual's susceptibility and a microbe’s ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria from proliferating. The study is published in the journal Microbiome.

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...

A new study shows the sugar sialic acid, which makes up part of the protective intestinal mucus layer, fuels disease-causing bacteria in the gut. The findings suggest a potential treatment target for ...

A genomic study of 291 eye infection samples found over 45% multidrug-resistant bacteria, highlighting antibiotic resistance patterns.
