Scientists found that tuberculosis alters glucose metabolism in the body. This study suggests undiagnosed TB could contribute to metabolic diseases like diabetes, emphasizing the need for metabolic screening in drug and vaccine trials.

Researchers have described the full molecular structure of the phage DEV, which uses a genome ejection motor to infect Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Researchers found that oral HPV infection rates are higher in men in the U.S. compared to Brazil and Mexico. Factors such as age, education, alcohol consumption and sexual behavior influence risk.

New research reveals how SARS-CoV-2 counteracts the innate immune system, making it more infectious than other coronaviruses.

Researchers developed an mRNA vaccine that protects against C. difficile infections. The vaccine induces a strong immune response, promotes bacterial clearance, and shows potential for broader applications.

New research shows microbes in our cities are evolving to resist the very cleaners we use to eliminate them. It also identifies novel strains living in Hong Kong that were previously only found in Antarctic desert soil.

Researchers have developed an AI model, “EUCAST-GPT-expert,” using GPT-4 to analyze antibiotic resistance through the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. While the AI tool aids in identifying resistance, it is not as accurate as human experts.

The first randomized clinical trial on monoclonal antibodies' impact on long COVID found that the combination of amubarvimab and romlusevimab did not decrease long COVID symptoms.

A study reveals a method for selecting mangrove bacteria that can transform polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The research identifies the novel genus Mangrovimarina plasticivorans, which carries enzymes capable of breaking down PET.

A study reveals that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with increased blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. The research highlights the need for dietary guidelines.
