A huge tool-kit of genes allows a rogue form of a normally harmless gut bacterium to cause life-threatening infections. The finding could lead to new ways to predict, prevent or treat these infections ...

2019年4月15日 讯 /生物谷BIOON/ --近日，一篇发表在国际杂志Science Translational Medicine上的研究报告中，来自美国多家研究机构的科学家们通过研究阐明了一种常见的人类肠道细菌如何通过进化的方式转变成为致死性的病原体，文章中，研究者描述了粪肠球菌 ...

A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...

Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...

The finding suggests possible new ways to target these bacterial infections. The research, published Nov. 10 in mBio, illuminates some of the underlying changes that may occur when Enterococcus ...

Researchers have revealed how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), releases lactic acid to acidify its surroundings and suppress the immune-cell signal needed to start a proper ...

In a new study, researchers have uncovered how cytolysins from Enterococcus faecalis destroys bacterial and mammalian cells. Although Enterococcus faecalis is usually an innocuous member of the ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular "slime" when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

For three decades, the deadly bacteria sat in cold storage. Normally, Enterococcus faecalis lives harmlessly in the human gut. One particular strain, however, caused a series of strangely persistent ...

Allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation is a mainstay of treatment for hematologic cancers, and the gut microbiota — the collection of archaea, bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses that reside ...
