Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular 'slime' when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...

COMT inhibitors, meant to boost Parkinson’s treatment, unintentionally promote gut bacteria that break down levodopa. This ...

A huge tool-kit of genes allows a rogue form of a normally harmless gut bacterium to cause life-threatening infections. The finding could lead to new ways to predict, prevent or treat these infections ...

Publication from professor Kline's lab on Enterococcus faecalis. This study demonstrates that Enterococcus faecalis exploits lactic acid as an immunomodulatory metabolite to suppr ...

When infected wounds – often arising from surgery, diabetes or everyday injuries – fail to heal, they can become chronic infections that linger for weeks and become difficult ...

For three decades, the deadly bacteria sat in cold storage. Normally, Enterococcus faecalis lives harmlessly in the human gut. One particular strain, however, caused a series of strangely persistent ...
