In people being treated for blood cancer, consuming sugar while on antibiotics boosted harm to the diversity of the gut microbiome.

Researchers have uncovered a surprising reason dental implant infections often resist antibiotics: the implants themselves can contribute to the problem.…

Not to kill the human, of course – to kill the antibiotic-resistant bacteria causing their infection

Discover how gut bacteria may influence breast cancer risk, hormone recycling, and treatment response, as experts explore the complex links between microbiome and cancer.

Bacteria, fillers found in unregulated retatrutide vials, being sold even in a Brooklyn bodega

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The New York Times: For the first time, scientists say they have used viruses designed by artificial intelligence to treat a human patient.…

Scientists have discovered that many common sweeteners can interfere with gut bacteria, with some combinations involving medications producing surprisingly strong effects.…

A specially engineered chewing gum reduced HPV by up to 93% and nearly eliminated two bacteria linked to head and neck cancer. The treatment preserved beneficial mouth bacteria, raising hopes for a safer and more affordable therapy.

New research provides a deep dive into the ancient and modern day microbes that call Ötzi home.

Rising temperatures drive a quarter of recent growth in resistant Salmonella genes, while microplastics create biofilms that speed horizontal transfer of resistance. New studies link these environmental factors to the accelerating superbug threat.…

Genetically altered bacteria can synthesise gadusol, a naturally occurring compound found in zebrafish eggs that could be developed as an alternative to existing sunscreen products that can harm marine life

Bacteria created using mirror images of natural biomolecules would pose a grave threat to life on Earth, some researchers warn, but a new study suggests they would struggle to survive in the wild

Most major crops, such as wheat and corn, require expensive nitrogen fertilizer to flourish. But what if bacteria could help those plants draw nitrogen from the atmosphere, as peas and beans do?

Tiny Health’s at-home vaginal test aims to help women understand their vaginal microbiome the way they know their cholesterol level or their blood pressure.

The last antimicrobial peptide was developed decades ago. Now, drug-resistant bacteria are forcing scientists to take a fresh look at this class of antibiotic. The last antimicrobial peptide was developed decades ago.…
