Increasing levels of antimicrobial resistance in opportunistic bacterial pathogens are one of the greatest threats to public health in the twenty-first century, with obvious associated clinical and ...

Host gene expression profiling holds great potential in improving the differential diagnostics of bacterial and viral infections. We investigated its discriminative value in children with suspected ...

Pathogens are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. With the goal of developing new therapeutic approaches to treat bacterial infections more effectively in the future, researchers at the ...

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...

A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals a surprising evolutionary insight: sometimes, losing genes rather than gaining them can help bacterial pathogen survive and thrive. The study ...

Analyzing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique from Würzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods. Not all individuals in a population of ...

Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning ...
