Microbiological Analysisof Bacteria that cause Food Poisoning could save lives   Researchers have made an important discovery that could help save patients with bacterial infections, particularly those suffering from food poisoning.

Scientist proves role of Microbiome in Obesity   New research presented by Dr. Christoph Thaiss in his award winning essay for the “Science and SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists” describes several bacterial metabolites in the human gut are modified during obesity.         Using Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Bacteria   Fluorescent microscopy has revolutionized the study of bacteria and helped scientists to understand various aspects of their growth, development, and pathogenesis. Bacterial cells are around 1 micron in size, which makes them invisible to the naked eye.

Metaproteomics Applications   The metaproteomics approach is most often used to determine major catalytic units of analyzed microbial populations, which in turn enables the construction of genotype‐phenotype links from tested samples.       Alzheimer's Disease and the Microbiome   There are more than ten times as many bacteria and other microorganisms in our bodies as there are human cells. Bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms reside within the digestive tract, primarily within the intestines, and play a fundamental role in digestive and immune health.       Microbiology and Quality Assurance of Kombucha   Kombucha is thought to have a variety of health benefits and has had a recent surge in popularity. It is sweet and slightly acidic in taste and has a very low alcohol content.       DNA analysis finds that stethoscopes used in the ICU are teaming with bacteria   A study conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has found that stethoscopes carried by healthcare practitioners in an intensive care (ICU) setting are loaded with a wide range of bacteria.
