The treatment targets Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a type of bacteria which is naturally resistant to many types of antibiotics.

Multiple sclerosis, a progressive disease that affects 2.8 million people worldwide has no definitive cure and is likely caused by infection

Molecules found in mucus can block cholera infection by interfering with the genes that cause the microbe to switch into a harmful state.

Multiple sclerosis (MS), a progressive disease that affects 2.8 million people worldwide and for which there is no definitive cure.

A compound that both inhibits the MRSA superbug and renders it more vulnerable to antibiotics has been discovered by scientists.

Sepsis is difficult to diagnose and causes an estimated 20% of deaths globally and as many as 20 to 50% of U.S. hospital deaths each year.

An organic compound could become a critical tool in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a new study suggests.

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in understanding how malaria parasites divide and transmit the disease.

Daily use of a mushroom extract supported the immune system in clearing human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, according to researchers

Researchers have found a way to supercharge immune cells that could enable them to clear disease and infections faster.

State-of-the-art technology will allow physicians to identify patients who are at risk for serious illness ahead of time.

The human body’s immune system weakens over time, making older adults more susceptible to infections and leaving scientists with a dilemma.

Smartphone pictures of post-surgical wounds taken by patients and then assessed by clinicians can help with the early ID of infections

This discovery means that doctors could quickly know which antibiotics will or won’t work for a patient’s life-threatening infection.

Researchers assessed 38 different studies from 13 countries on the risk of infectious disease transmission in public washrooms.

Scientists have developed a new kind of antibiotic-free protection for wounds that kills drug-resistant bacteria and fights infections.

A new sensor can distinguish infectious viruses from noninfectious ones thanks to selective DNA fragments and sensitive nanopore technology.

Alphaviruses — mosquito-borne viruses that can trigger brain infections and arthritis — may have met their match.
