Bacteria in food can make you seriously ill, which is why it is so important for the facilities that produce your food to ...

Endoglycosidase S (EndoS) cleaves glycans from IgG and contributes to immune evasion. EndoE from Enterococcus faecalis cleave glycans of IgG, RNaseB and lactoferrin for nutritional and ...

Gram-negative bacteria cause a variety of infectious diseases in plants and animals alike. Outbreaks of Salmonella and E. coli infections often make headlines due to their severity, and people have to ...

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

These motility organs play important roles in DNA uptake to exchange genetic information between different bacteria, allowing what's so-called genomic plasticity. Therefore, bacterial motility organs ...

Whether in the human body or on surfaces, bacteria protect themselves from outside attackers using biofilms. Physicist ...

EcOpgD is a β-1,2-glucanase involved in the adjustment of the chain length of osmo-regulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs). A reaction mechanism with an unprecedentedly long proton transfer pathway has ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Antimicrobial resistance—when bacteria and fungi defend themselves against the drugs designed to kill them—is an urgent ...

Humans have long had a love-hate relationship with bacteria. While there are bacterial strains that humans cannot live without, such as those that help us digest our food and bolster our immune ...
