Even though vinegar (acetic acid) has been used as traditional wound healing disinfectant, it only kills certain range of bacteria, leaving dangerous species unaffected. Scientists have developed a ...

A combination of a positive leukocyte esterase result and a negative nitrite result on urinalysis was associated with a sevenfold higher likelihood of Enterococcus-associated urinary tract infection ...

McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge beaches 3, 4, 5 and 6 are under a beach advisory due to bacteria. Water samples at the wildlife refuge located at 5632 Clam Lake Rd. in Sabine Pass were found to have ...

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 are one step closer to slowing the spread of Enterococcus faecalis in poultry hatcheries with the discovery of a potential virulence factor. E. faecalis is a gram-positive bacterium that ...

Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...
