NewsFoodborne-pathogen Listeria may hide from sanitizers in multi-species biofilms
The finding could result in more effective sanitation procedures, leading to safer food supply, researchers said.

NewsHIV ‘secret handshake’ helps it reach cell’s centre to kickstart infection
New research reveals how the HIV capsid gets into the nuclear pore barrier channel.
-
NewsProtein may be the ‘glue’ that helps COVID virus stick
A study found that perlecan LG3 – a protein most commonly found in blood vessels and the brain – readily formed a stable bond with the COVID spike protein and perhaps enhanced the virus’ ability to bind with cells.

NewsAiCuris and DZIF sign Collaboration and License Option Agreement
AiCuris Anti-infective Cures AG and the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) have announced the signing of a collaboration and license option agreement.
-
NewsVirus that infected the first animals now essential for development of the human embryo
All animals have evolved thanks to the fact that certain viruses infected primitive organisms hundreds of millions of years ago. Researchers now describe the role played by these viruses in a process that is absolutely vital for our development.
-
NewsNew tool reveals gene behavior in bacteria
Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation.
-
NewsCyanobacteria blooms intensify in Argentinian reservoirs
Research reveals cyanobacteria blooms have become more intense in Argentinian reservoirs, with positive records of cyanotoxins observed only in the last four years of the study period.
-
NewsNew AMI publication Sustainable Microbiology launches online
The first content from the new open-access Sustainable Microbiology published by Applied Microbiology International goes live today.
-
NewsScientists identify window of opportunity for treatment promoting HIV remission
Starting treatment four weeks after infection with HIV promotes long-term control of the virus following the interruption of treatment after two years of antiretroviral therapy.
-
NewsExperiment shows how predator mass mortality events affect food webs
A team of biologists experimentally caused a predator die-off to understand how rapid predator deaths affect freshwater ecosystems.
-
NewsComplex green organisms emerged a billion years ago
Using modern gene sequencing data, researchers investigating the evolutionary history of morphological complexity in streptophytes have pinpointed the emergence of multicellularity to almost a billion years ago.
-
NewsAI surveillance tool successfully helps to predict sepsis, saves lives
Researchers find that utilizing a unique AI algorithm that monitors several patient variables, like vital signs and lab results, can detect sepsis before symptom onset.
-
NewsInfants born to COVID-infected mums have triple risk of developing respiratory distress
Vaccinating mothers prior to infection significantly reduced the risk for full-term infants developing a breathing disorder that most often strikes premature newborns.
-
NewsDisinfection is most effective way to prevent viral contamination of restroom surfaces
Closing the toilet lid before flushing does not reduce the spread of viral particles, a new study reveals.
-
NewsMutating hepatitis viruses make drug treatment more difficult
Sofosbuvir and Ribavirin combination therapy efficiently decreased viral RNA in blood and stool in patients with chronic HEV infection, but variants that are associated with antiviral resistance emerged during treatment.
-
NewsCooler conditions spur bacterial prey species to become the predator
In a new study, two species of bacteria grown in a lab reversed their predator-prey relationship after one species was grown at a lower temperature.
-
NewsSpace-grown salad more susceptible to foodborne infections than on earth
A research team finds lettuce and other plants are more susceptible to bacterial infections in space than on Earth.
-
NewsResearchers reveal how archaea toggle the nitrogen-uptake switch
By tightly regulating nitrogen uptake, microorganisms avoid overeating nitrogen and thus wasting energy. Scientists now reveal how some methanogenic archaea manage to do so.
-
NewsStrong links found between long COVID and ME/CFS
People suffering from long COVID or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis /Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) could benefit from a coordinated treatment strategy, a new study has found.
-
NewsScientists make COVID receptor protein in mouse cells
Initially motivated to make receptor-based sensors and therapies for COVID-19, scientists develop general strategy for producing other complex proteins.
