For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...

Scientists engineer bacteria to destroy cancer tumors from oxygen-starved cores where chemotherapy fails, using smart genetic ...

Administering antibiotics cleans the gut of harmful bacteria, allowing beneficial bacteria to flourish. The study found that two helpful bacteria, Parasutterella excrementihominis and Lactobacillus ...

Bacteria frozen for thousands of years could hold the key to developing new antibiotics, researchers have found.

In a cave in Romania, scientists found a bacterial strain entombed in ice that is resistant to 10 modern antibiotics. But it may also help fight superbugs.

A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumors from the inside out. "Bacteria spores enter the ...

Wastewater contains untapped resources that, if reclaimed, could power agriculture, global sanitation, and its own treatment ...

Sweat rarely smells on its own. Body odour develops when bacteria on the skin break down compounds in sweat and release volatile chemicals that evaporate into the air.

A new study pinpoints two species of bacteria that work together to dry out the lining of the gut and cause constipation ...

Whether it’s the ocean’s deepest hydrothermal vents or tall mountain peaks, bacteria is likely surviving and thriving. Ice caves can host a wide variety of microorganisms and offer biologists a bevy ...

Scientists have engineered bacteria that thrive inside tumors, using oxygen sensing to destroy cancer from within.

Researchers are engineering bacteria to invade tumors and consume them from the inside. Because tumor cores lack oxygen, they ...
