This is an article that reveals biofilms of bacteria are responsible for persistent ear infections. Recurrent ear infections happen despite antibiotic administration in many cases. This has been found out with the aid of bacteria identification.As a doctor once explained the case in many children, he believes that the antibiotics actually cure the infection. However, [...]
Here is an article that is about a study revealing that photosynthesis can take place even in places without sunlight. A team of researchers, has found evidence of photosynthesis taking place deep within the Pacific Ocean. The team recognized through bacteria identification, a green sulfur bacterium that is the first photosynthetic organism that does not [...]
According to California Sea Grant researchers, bacteria that have been found by bacteria identification that live symbiotically with toxic algae may be just as important as nitrogen and phosphorous in sparking some toxic algal blooms. Professor Carl Carrano of San Diego State University and colleagues Frithjof Kuepper and David Green at The Scottish Association for [...]
This is an article about a discovered receptor for helicobacter pylori, a causative agent for ulcers. Helicobacter pylori or H. pylori is the most common bacterial infection worldwide as recognized by bacteria identification. Vanderbilt University Medical Center investigators have identified a receptor that H. pylori uses to bind to the stomach lining and cause inflammation. [...]
This is an article about Oregon scientists having a breakthrough with SAR11 bacteria classified through bacteria identification. Microbiologists at Oregon State University have used sensitive new procedures to grow this bacteria in their laboratory, paving the way for a deeper understanding of the microscopic creatures global ecological role. The SAR11 bacteria are widespread in the [...]
This is a article discussing a study that reveals just how bacteria hides from the immune system. The Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers studied the bacteria Campylobacter fetus. The scvientists have discovered a new mechanism by which the bacteria which have been noted by bacteria identification, hide away from the immune system. A study published [...]
The researchers discovering an unknown kind of bacteria and they named it after a state. After four cancer patients in five years contracted the same mysterious, life-threatening kind of lung infection, a UNMC cancer physician wanted to know exactly what bacteria was causing the infection. The physician reasoned that knowing the bacteria would give him [...]
The Stanford University released this article written by Sandra Hines. It describes how species, from birds to butterflies and even to bacteria, appear to have a crucial role in the study of the relationships and interactions between living organisms and their natural or developed environment.In the two papers published in the journal Nature, each dealing [...]
The Evergreen State College is one of the leading institutions in phage research. A subject of comprehensive research is a minute parasite that may play a significant role in the future eradication of disease and infection. This tiny parasite commonly referred to as bacteriophage virus or phage is considered as a bacteria killer. Although only [...]
It has been suspected by researchers that anoxic aquatic sediments represented the sites where resident bacteria were believed to transform the inorganic forms of mercury by methylation. However, it was not clear which group of microbes were responsible at that time. Methanogenic bacteria are considered to be important members of anaerobic food webs since they [...]
