Current research includes a focus on a) the development and optimization of diagnostics and enhanced sample preparation strategies for rapid detection of foodborne pathogens, b) ecology and control of ...

Microbial infections, caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites, pose a significant challenge to global health, affecting millions annually. Despite advancements in medical science, understanding the ...

Bacterial infections are multifactorial processes that often involve a complex interaction between the pathogen and resident microbial community. We have developed an in vitro microbioreactor array ...

Rapid detection and identification of microbial pathogens in the laboratory is imperative. However, standard microbiology testing approaches often depend on the recovery and culture of viable ...

Researchers show how advanced sequencing and natural compounds are shaping the ongoing fight against deadly foodborne diseases, from Listeria hiding in biofilms to frankincense smoke killing harmful ...

Asiya Gusa’s unconventional career path eventually led her to Cryptococcus, exploring how stress adaptation might make this ...

In a recent study posted to Research Square*, researchers evaluated the distribution of microbes on surfaces within a microbiology laboratory. Study: Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 distribution and ...

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 ...

There is so much we don't know about microbes, even while these organisms are the most numerous on the planet. A recent study called our understanding of microbial life 'profoundly ignorant,' and ...
