Antibiotics drive resistance in waterways - even after they break down

2026-06-09T11:00:00+01:00

Antibiotics continue to drive resistance to bacteria, even after they are broken down in wastewater treatment plants and discharged into rivers and seas, new research published on World Oceans Day has shown for the first time.

Digital model guides cleaner biohydrogen production

2026-06-09T10:51:00+01:00

A research team has developed an enzyme-aware digital model that explains why hydrogen-producing microbes often struggle to grow fast and generate hydrogen efficiently at the same time. The study reveals how limited enzyme resources shape the balance between cell growth, by-product formation, and hydrogen generation.

E. coli Bacteria

Shiga-producing E. coli infections are becoming more resistant to antibiotics

2026-06-09T10:44:00+01:00

A new study indicates resistance to antimicrobial agents is rising among human infections with Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli bacteria.

Testing AI against public health’s existing tools

2026-06-09T10:37:00+01:00

A new study found that AI chatbots made vaccine-hesitant parents more likely to say they would vaccinate their children against HPV, but did not outperform materials from government health agencies, whose effects also lasted longer.

New noninvasive tool may allow early detection of dangerous intestinal disease in premature babies

2026-06-09T08:47:00+01:00

A first-in-human study shows that a handheld probe placed gently on the belly of most fragile infants can reliably identify early stages of necrotizing enterocolitis.

New tool quickly sequences hantavirus genome

2026-06-08T10:29:00+01:00

The genetic diversity of hantavirus and the low levels of virus typically found in patient samples make sequencing its genome particularly challenging. Researchers have developed a new, effective, and low-cost way to carry out whole genome sequencing for hantaviruses.

From spider silk to science: a new way to access hidden fungal diversity

2026-06-04T15:44:00+01:00

A new study suggests that spider webs - particularly those incorporating environmental debris - can serve as natural, non-destructive collectors of fungal material in agricultural ecosystems. The findings show that viable fungi can be recovered from these structures, including lineages that may represent previously undocumented diversity.
