Bacteria’s constant interaction with viruses has led them to evolve antiviral strategies.

Doctors have been treating bacterial vaginosis with the same antibiotic for decades. This fatty acid could change that.

Organ-on-a-chip technology can replicate the cervix microenvironment in bacterial vaginosis.

Bacteria can invade colorectal cancer tumors, leading to worse disease outcomes. Oxygen — or lack thereof — plays a vital role in this interaction.

Organic molecules with novel biological properties offer new ways to eliminate multidrug-resistant bacteria. 

Researchers investigated the feasibility of microbiome-based drug delivery as a longer-lasting alternative to current topical formulations.

Microbiome researcher Sarah Lebeer studies how beneficial bacteria can help treat inflammatory skin conditions such as acne and atopic dermatitis.

Scientists have appreciated the roles of bacteria in our microbiomes for decades. Now, they’re studying the effects of the trillions of viruses that call the human body home.

Fifteen years after a worldwide scientific ocean expedition, scientists uncovered microbe genomes that produce potential therapeutics. 

Scientists created a pill that, when swallowed, collects snapshots of the gastrointestinal microbiome, revealing striking differences along the GI tract.
