HEALTH OFFICIALS ENCOURAGE AWARENESS OF POTENTIAL BACTERIA IN LOCAL WATERS
Pensacola, Fla. – PENSACOLA, FL – The Florida Department of Health in Escambia County urges residents and visitors to limit exposure to Vibrio vulnificus. Occurring naturally in the warm coastal waters, particularly during the summer months, Vibrio vulnificus has the potential to cause serious illness. Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium that normally lives in warm, …
Landmark Study Reveals New Technology from DeBogy Molecular Significantly Reduces the Bacteria and Deadly Infection that Can Occur Following a Surgical Implant
FARMINGTON, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DeBogy Molecular, Inc, a biotech startup that specializes in antimicrobial surface modification, today announced the findings of a landmark in vivo research study that affirms the effectiveness and safety of their new technology to kill the dangerous bacteria that proliferates on the surface of a medical implant following surgery. Infection resulting from bacterial …
Exploring the vital connection between gut microbes, physical activity, and health
Our bowels accommodate billions of active microbes that affect the health, a fact that is arousing increasing interest also among athletes. For example, performance-enhancing intestinal microbe populations have been found in athletes participating in endurance sports. There is also research evidence for the notion that physical activity produces health-promoting changes in the bowels. Sanna Lensu …
Study shows how different microbiomes could be harnessed to boost human health
There’s a lot of interest right now in how different microbiomes–like the one made up of all the bacteria in our guts–could be harnessed to boost human health and cure disease. But Daniel Segrè has set his sights on a much more ambitious vision for how the microbiome could be manipulated for good: “To help …
New plasmonic isothermal PCR technology can detect respiratory viral pathogens in 30 minutes
Apr 15 2021 Researchers in South Korea developed a plasmonic isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) array chip, the world’s first plasmonic isothermal PCR technology which can detect 8 types of pathogens (4 bacteria and 4 viruses) that cause acute respiratory infectious diseases in 30 minutes, led by Dr. Sung-Gyu Park and Dr. Ho Sang Jung …
Microbes Unknown to Science Discovered on The International Space Station
The menagerie of bacterial and fungal species living among us is ever growing – and this is no exception in low-gravity environments, such as the International Space Station (ISS). Researchers from the United States and India working with NASA have now discovered four strains of bacteria living in different places in the ISS – …
Researchers develop new technology to handle water contamination emergencies
Waterborne pathogens can be particularly fatal for first responders in emergency situations. In order to better protect them and to better cope with emergency situations, Fraunhofer IAO is part of a consortium to develop technologies and processes that will enable better control and help minimize risks The PathoCERT project is funded by the European Union …

‘Super bacteria’ survives for three years outside space station
Scientists who attached a strain of bacteria to the outside of the International Space Station have been stunned to find it survived for three years, in open space. The experiment, led by a team of Japanese researchers, involved the bacteria Deinococcus radiodurans, also known as Conan the Bacterium due to its extreme hardiness. Experts say …
New technology creates hard metal surfaces that kill bacteria
A treatment to infuse hardened metal surfaces with naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides has been developed by researchers at Purdue University. In other words, the Purdue research team’s technology can create hard metal surfaces that kill bacteria trying to attach to it. David Bahr, team leader and professor of materials engineering at Purdue, said this technology …
