Intracellular bacterial pathogens pose a major challenge to current antimicrobial therapies due to their ability to survive and replicate within host cells, ...

Salmonella bacteria (red) cause up to a million deaths a year worldwide and there is a need for effective vaccines. New work from UC Davis shows how salmonella-specific T-cells can be stimulated to ...

For years scientists have puzzled over why the intracellular pathogen Salmonella is able to survive—and thrive—in human and animal tissues, even within otherwise hostile cells that are part of the ...

Successful infection often depends on a pathogen’s ability to evade host immune cell detection through stealthy mechanisms. After a person inhales Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) into their lungs, ...

Bacteria block the immune system with lactic acid and cause infections to become chronic, revealing why some wounds don't ...

Antimicrobial nanoparticles are materials with exceptional antimicrobial properties, capable of controlling bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Thanks to their unique physicochemical attributes, ...

DNA scaffolds organize silver nanoclusters into potent antimicrobials that precisely kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria, ...

Researchers in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School have opened a new window into understanding the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen responsible for tuberculosis, has evolved a remarkably layered set of molecular tricks that allow it to survive and even thrive inside the very immune cells ...
