Reducing the copies of one gene in the bubonic plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, made it less deadly but potentially more ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria ...

New research in mice now points to a significant role for fungi in the intestine — the communities of molds and yeasts known ...

Immunomodulation based on macrophages shows great potential in tackling major diseases such as infections and cancers.

A new study reveals that microbial diversity is shaped by a network of mutual dependencies. Microbial ecosystems are found all around us—in seawater, soil, and even inside the human gut—and they are ...
