Humans pass on more viruses to domestic and wild animals than we catch from them, according to a major new analysis of viral genomes by UCL researchers.

The intricacies of how intestinal bacteria adapt to their environment have yet to be fully explored. Researchers have identified a small ribonucleic acid (sRNA) that affects the susceptibility of a gut pathogen to specific antibiotics.

The spread of drug-resistant bacteria has created an urgent need for new antibiotics. Researchers report that they have developed a new generative AI model that can design new antibiotics to stop the spread of one of the world’s most dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Scientists have successfully carried out pioneering fecal microbiota transplantations on Navy bottlenose dolphins that showed signs of gastrointestinal disease.

Scientists have taken a major step towards developing a blood test that could identify millions of people who spread tuberculosis unknowingly.

A vaccine against the bacterium that causes melioidosis was found to be highly protective against the highly fatal disease in animal studies.

A new quick and precise technique for producing artificial human chromosomes has been developed, which could be used to power advanced gene therapies.

A team has now discovered that the toxin Candida albicans also plays an important role in the colonization of the digestive tract.

The Icahn Mount Sinai researchers nominated and validated transcription factors BHLHE40 and BHLHE41 that regulate clearance processes in immune cells, including brain immune cells, microglia.

Legionnaires’ disease is a rare and dangerous respiratory tract infection. Diagnosis and surveillance usually require culturing isolates.
A new study shows how whole genome sequencing could be used when culturing isn’t an option.
