Scientists have developed a new test that can easily and quickly identify bacteria in any liquid, such as water, milk, or urine. This test uses a type of virus that only insects bacterial cells, ...

Engineers and biochemists have brought their skills together to make it possible for untrained users to confirm contamination in fluids using a biogel test that changes color in the presence of such ...

As medical students face the 2026 microbiology exam cycle, the focus has shifted from memorizing isolated bacterial facts to recognizing high-yield lab patterns and understanding the mechanistic ...

A novel new test for bacteria in fluids makes it as easy as observing a color change to confirm the presence of disease-causing pathogens, promising much easier diagnostic tests and greater food ...

Two scientists with a background in mechanical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis established a collaboration with researchers from the School of ...

What if there were a way to make proteins, enzymes and reagents right in the lab, in small amounts, on demand? Microscopic images of E.coli bacteria. Image courtesy of the Center for Disease Control.

Scientists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev found a natural compound that knocks out 92% of the bacterial film behind plaque and cavities.These results are based on lab tests, not human trials, ...

Antibiotic tolerance allows bacteria to survive treatment without resistance, leading to persistent infections and relapse.
