WHO’s director of antimicrobial resistance, Dr Yvan Hutin, says science needs to catch up with drug-resistant bacteria.

Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal disease—with symptoms often misidentified as cholera—in humans and animals.

Gut dysbiosis caused by a high-fat diet can allow bacteria to move from the gut to the brain in mice, according to a new ...

Scientists at Arizona State University have uncovered surprising new ways bacteria move, even without their usual whip-like propellers called flagella. In one study, E. coli and salmonella were found ...

With more than 100 million neurons in the digestive tract, the gut is commonly known as the "second brain" in numerous cultures, including ancient Greece, Japan, China and India, linking digestion ...

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 ...

High-fat diets allow gut bacteria to travel to the brain via the vagus nerve, potentially triggering neurological disorders.

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.

Researchers found that gut microbes may contribute to memory loss by disrupting signals between the intestine and the brain.
