Bacteria form unique biofilms to kill immune cells The formation of biofilms - where bacteria aggregate in a self-generated matrix -helps to protect bacteria from various environmental threats, such as antibiotics, bacteriophages and cells of the immune system. Reporting in Cell, Vidakov... Y Bord...
molecular tweezers" to destroy the biofilm that surrounds and protects virulent bacteria after entering the body. Their findings were published recently in Cell Chemical Biology. The team, led by BGU?s Department of Chemistry Prof. Raz Jelinek, and postdoc in his lab ...

farmers used them freely.Now scientists know that the overuse of antibiotics can cultivate drug-resistant bacteria that are dangerous to human health.Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place.figuring out how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and make...
that’s a true fact, the follicle feels it needs to build better resistance against future waxing. To shave or to use a removal cream, you’re only removing the surface of hair, BUT using warm water causes the follicle to then shrink once it dries back into the skin- leading to ...
The sanitization of environment has gone too far. There are antibiotics everywhere. Exposure to microbes from environment educates our immune system. Effects of microbiota in the body. The majority of immune cells are located in the gut.
Antibiotics:Antibiotics will destroy both the bad bacteria and the good bacteria. Without the competition, yeast can take over and grow out of control. Toxins: There are toxins in your dog’s food, water and environment that will damage the beneficial bacteria that keep yeast in check. You’...
have been able to demonstrate how this comes about. Their research showed that whenantibioticsattack these bacteria, the HipA toxin disrupts the chemical "messaging" process necessary for nutrients to build proteins. This is interpreted
Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University in North Haven, Conn., was not involved with the study but was familiar with the findings. She said, "Bacteria don't want to be killed. When we try to kill them with antibiotics, they are going to fight back. It's an ongoing ...
Inadequate development of new antibiotics and rising rates of resistance by bacteria to existing antimicrobials are dual forces pushing the world ever closer to a post-antibiotic era.
