A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular 'slime' when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

Researchers found that a common antibiotic-resistant bacterium prevents wounds from healing by chemically paralyzing skin cells rather than attacking them directly. Scientists from an international ...

Researchers suggest that wound dressings infused with antioxidants such as catalase could be an effective future treatment.

To confirm the central role of this process, the scientists used a genetically modified strain of E. faecalis lacking the EET ...

A typical gut bacterium that can spread through the body and cause a serious infection resists natural immune defenses and antibiotics by enhancing its protective outer layer, known as the cell ...

A team found that Enterococcus faecalis delays chronic wound healing by producing damaging reactive oxygen species.

An international team of scientists, led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new ...
