Your mouth and your gut is full of them. But we don’t know if they’re friend or foe.
Hospitals are more risky than farms when it comes to the spread of the Klebsiella superbug.
How deadly is monkeypox? Why is it called monkeypox? Is it related to chickenpox? All your questions answered.

SARS-Cov-2 has experienced roughly the same amount of evolutionary change during the pandemic as humans have since Homo habilis first walked the Earth about 2.5m years ago.
The World Health Organization has created more memorable and less stigmatising names for coronavirus variants.
Le génome du coronavirus est constitué de 30 000 « lettres », ce qui signifie qu’il existe une quantité énorme de mutations possibles. Mais inutile de paniquer pour autant.
Coronavirus is 30,000 RNA ‘letters’ long, meaning there are over a quintillion possible genome permutations.
The coronavirus is evolving, but which path it will take is far from certain.
So-called ‘variants of concern’ have been cropping up since November.
The evolutionary history of antibiotic resistance suggests it may be impossible to develop resistance-proof antibiotics so what are our other options?
