The bacteria that are present in a person's gastrointestinal tract can reveal a lot about their health. A newly developed capsule could provide even more information, by gathering bacteria from ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified an enzyme that acts early in pneumococcal infections to promote bacterial survival and invasive disease by removing the bacteria's ...

The over-abundance or lack of certain types of gut bacteria has been linked to everything from depression to heart disease to childhood asthma. Non-invasively determining which microbes make up a ...

MIT scientists have created an ingestible sensor that holds smart, genetically engineered bacteria. The bacteria is designed to react to bleeding in the stomach, and its low-power sensor can convey ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Your gut bacteria could say a lot about you, such as why you’re diabetic or how you respond to certain drugs. But scientists can see only so much of the gastrointestinal tract ...

Whether you go in from above or below, probing the inner workings of our innards is a tricky task. Our intestines are an extensive, inaccessible tangle of tubes, full of dark tucks and turns. But with ...

An enzyme antibiotics rely on to kill bacteria also promotes survival of pneumococcus and sets the stage for serious, invasive infections, scientists have discovered. St. Jude Children's Research ...
