Counterintuitive: When silencing bacteria worsens heart infections
In infectious disease research, it is widely accepted that disrupting bacterial communication signals is beneficial. But this ...
For many years, scientists believed that stopping bacteria from communicating with each other could help treat infections. The idea seemed simple: if bacteria cannot “talk,” they cannot organize ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular “slime” when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...
A typical gut bacterium that can spread through the body and cause a serious infection resists natural immune defenses and antibiotics by enhancing its protective outer layer, known as the cell ...
