For years, scientists have been striving to develop localized treatments to reduce side effects of therapeutic drugs

Team investigated the effects of three different dietary fats on the amount of C. albicans in the mouse gut

Researchers passed an electric current over a film of bacteria and in 24 hours killed almost all of a multi-drug resistant bacterium

Discovery greatly expands the known distribution of the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome, which has decimated bat populations in North America

Biology-based field of study represents 'new frontier' for infectious diseases discovery

Study provides a more complete and complex picture of infectious disease ecology than before

An upset in the body’s natural balance of gut bacteria that may lead to life-threatening bloodstream infections can be reversed by enhancing a specific immune defense response, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found.

Researchers at Vanderbilt University and in Germany have found that sodium –salt–accumulates in the skin and tissue in humans and mice to help control infection.

Technique could allow study of viral infections, cell division and photosynthesis in new detail.

A recently published study in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics, based in part on research from the Children’s Hospital of Michigan part of the Detroit Medical Center, shows that oral antibiotics are just as effective as those delivered intravenously to children struggling with osteomyelitis.
