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 ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen responsible for tuberculosis, has evolved a remarkably layered set of molecular ...

Researchers in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School have just opened a new window into understanding the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The work not only reveals ...

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, ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have identified the mechanism by which pathogenic Bordetella bacteria promote the colonization of mammalian airways. This ...

Strains of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) cause the majority of all urinary tract infections. Host defense mechanisms and antibiotic treatments kill most of the bacteria, but some can remain ...
