Transthoracic echocardiogram has low sensitivity and, if negative, should be followed by TEE to exclude endocarditis. Not all cases of non-HACEK Gram-negative bacterial endocarditis necessarily ...

Infective endocarditis. The biofilm matrix is most frequently referred to as being of bacterial origin. Although this applies to biofilms grown on an abiotic surface in the laboratory, biofilm ...

Consequently, a lack of peripheral manifestations should not dissuade clinicians from consideration of bacterial endocarditis in the above scenario.

Researchers have created a novel imaging-technology combination that can capture gene activity in individual bacteria in ...

Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components -- the rotor and stators. Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

By combining MERFISH imaging with expansion microscopy, researchers have unlocked a new way to study bacteria at the ...

A research team at Shandong First Medical University in China has now developed a solution that actively hunts down and destroys resistant bacteria. They created microscopic particles ... mechanical ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...
