Study on bacterial infection in older individuals

The older population is prone to microbial infections, which can lead to death. Hence, it is important to understand why this group is vulnerable to microbial infection, especially bacterial infection. A recent Scientific Reports study linked data from two sources to understand the determining factors for microbial infection in the older population in the UK.

The bacteria we breath in everyday

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers surveyed the global airborne bacterial communities to understand their community structure and biogeographic distribution patterns. In addition, they examined their interactions with Earth’s other microbiomes, particularly surface habitats.

Study illuminates how a typical gut bacterium spreads through the body

A typical gut bacterium that can spread through the body and cause a serious infection resists natural immune defenses and antibiotics by enhancing its protective outer layer, known as the cell envelope, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
