Antibiotic resistance is not only a hospital problem. Farming, food production and import standards also play a role.
Most people recover within a week. A UK outbreak involving 207 confirmed cases offers a window into the rare route from gut illness to bloodstream infection.
As antibiotic resistance grows, scientists are turning to bacteriophages, viruses that target harmful bacteria without wiping out beneficial microbes.
New research suggests drought-parched soil turbocharges antibiotic resistance in nature, and with UK summers getting drier, that’s a growing problem.
La tinta de los tatuajes permanece en el cuerpo de por vida. Los investigadores tienen dudas acerca de cómo interactúan estos pigmentos con el sistema inmunitario y si la exposición a largo plazo debería preocuparnos.
If you notice a friend exhibiting any concerning signs – especially rapid worsening over hours – take them seriously.
From MRSA to norovirus, hospital infections remain a global problem. Here’s what they are, how they spread, and how to reduce risk.
These shape-shifting microbes can harbour deadly pathogens, and climate change is helping them spread.
From dry air to indoor crowding, winter creates the perfect conditions for respiratory viruses to thrive.
A tinta da tatuagem fica em você por toda a vida, e só agora pesquisadores se perguntam como esses pigmentos interagem com o sistema imune e se a exposição a longo prazo é relevante para a saúde.
Poor sanitation, stress and disrupted diets can reshape gut bacteria in refugees, showing how social conditions can leave lasting biological effects.
Tattoo ink stays with you for life. Researchers are now asking how these pigments interact with the immune system and whether long-term exposure matters.
Gut bacteria influence digestion, hormones and stress responses. These pathways shape infant sleep and may help explain night waking.
Want better sleep? Start by fixing your gut microbiome.
Infections are becoming harder to treat because the fungi are adapting to survive antifungal drugs – but this isn’t happening by chance.
From food trucks in Italy to jars on UK shelves: botulism is rare but deadly. Here’s what you need to know.
Almost half of hospital visitors skip washing their hands after using the toilet. If that’s happening in hospitals, imagine the hygiene at festivals and beaches.
Bacteria are lurking on your sponge, your pet’s toys and your tea towels. Here’s what the research says - and how to protect yourself.
Wearing outdoor shoes inside can spread of bacteria, allergens, and toxic chemicals — all of which can compromise your health and indoor air quality.
Colostrum maybe ‘nature’s first vaccine but will bovine colostrum give you glowing skin and an incredible immune system?
Marburg virus has killed 12 people in the latest outbreak, but a new vaccine is now to hand.
Make your freshers’ week one to remember – in a good way. Here’s how to keep yourself healthy and happy as you start university life.
Oropouche virus is transmitted to humans through mosquitoes and midges.
Depuis le début du mois de juin 2024, l’Inde subit une épidémie d’encéphalites virales causées par un virus transmis par de petits moucherons se nourrissant de sang.
