11-12-23 Yale researchers have uncovered the molecular tricks used by bacteria to fight the effects of fluoride（氟化物） , which is commonly used in toothpaste and mouthwash to combat tooth decay. In the Dec. 22 online issue of the journal Science Express,...

11-12-20 A new study co-authored by University of Florida researchers on the endangered Ozark Hellbender giant salamander（娃娃鱼） is the first to detail its skin microbes, the bacteria and fungi that defend against pathogens. Published recently in the onli...

11-11-15 A new University of Minnesota study reveals that treated municipal（市政的） wastewater -- even wastewater treated by the highest-quality treatment technology -- can result in significant quantities of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, often referred t...

11-11-01 A vampire-like bacteria that leeches onto（对纠缠不休） specific other bacteria -- including certain human pathogens -- has the potential to serve as a living antibiotic for a range of infectious diseases, a new study indicates. The bacterium, Micav...

11-10-13 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) scientists have discovered that bacterial communication could have a significant impact on the planet's climate. In the ocean, bacteria coalesce（合并，结合） on tiny particles of carbon-rich detritus（碎...

11-10-03 Antibiotic resistant E. coli was much more prevalent in villages situated（位于） along roads than in rural villages located away from roads, which suggests that roads play a major role in the spread or containment（包含，牵制） of antibiotic resist...

11-09-06 A novel way of increasing the amounts of antibiotics produced by bacteria has been discovered that could markedly improve the yields of these important compounds in commercial production. It could also be valuable in helping to discover new compound...

11-08-26 Here's one way that old-fashioned newsprint beats the Internet. Tulane University scientists have discovered a novel bacterial strain, dubbed TU-103, that can use paper to produce butanol（丁醇） , a biofuel that can serve as a substitute for gasoli...

11-08-25 In the zeal（热情，热心） to eliminate dangerous bacteria, it is possible that we are also permanently killing off beneficial bacteria as well, posits（假定） Martin Blaser, MD, Frederick H. King Professor of Medicine, professor of Microbiology and...

11-08-21 美国明尼苏达大学的微生物学家近期发现了一种超强天然防腐剂，能够杀灭各类细菌，使食物在常温下也能保存很久。 Fresh food could be made to last for years after scientists discovered a natural preservative（防腐剂） capable of destroying a whole class of b...
