Cholera is a deadly bacterial disease that kills about 95,000 people every year. Vibrio cholerae bacteria infect cells in the ...

Bacteria harness the power of communities. A research group at the University of Basel, Switzerland, has now discovered that the bacterial pathogen that causes cholera forms a novel type of bacterial ...

The deadly bacterium behind cholera epidemics spends only a fraction of its life infecting humans. Most of the time, Vibrio cholerae lurks in estuaries and other semisalty aquatic habitats.

Previously, it was assumed that bacteria form biofilms to defend and protect themselves. Now, a new study by researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, has discovered that the bacterial ...

Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, a waterborne pathogen that infects the gut of humans through contaminated water and food. When ingested, V. cholerae colonizes the gut’s inner ...

New research from EPFL, Switzerland, offers fresh insights into how some gut bacteria protect themselves against deadly cholera infection opening doors for the design of probiotic strains that can ...

Bacteria have an immune system that protects them against viruses known as bacteriophages. A research team from the Universities of Tübingen and Würzburg has now shown how this immune system enhances ...

Scientists have identified the source of antibiotic resistance that emerged within bacteria driving the ongoing Yemen cholera epidemic. Scientists have identified the source of antibiotic resistance ...

EPFL scientists have discovered that predatory bacteria like the cholera pathogen can steal up to 150 genes in one go from their neighbors. The study sheds light on one of the most fundamental ...

Cholera, which afflicts hundreds of thousands of people a year in Bangladesh, is easy to prevent with simple materials, says Hermann Feldmeier, a professor at the Center for Humanities and Health ...

Researchers have deciphered a molecular mechanism with which a small RNA and a small protein regulate the metabolism of cholera bacteria and the production of the cholera toxin. The human gut is a ...
