News£4.56M Wellcome Discovery Award to investigate natural human resistance to Salmonella
The University of Liverpool’s Professor Jay Hinton and an international team have been awarded a £4,555,647 Wellcome Discovery funding to lead a five-year research programme exploring how some healthy humans are naturally protected from being infected by Salmonella Typhimurium.

NewsEngineered bacterial therapy activates immune response in cancer preclinical studies
Researchers have developed a new bacterial immunotherapy that delivers immune-activating proteins directly to solid tumors, which can often suppress the immune system. ACTM-838 targets phagocytic immune cells within the tumor microenvironment.

NewsEngineered gut bacteria improves survival outcomes in colorectal cancer tumors
A genetically modified Salmonella typhimurium strain can colonise tumours and release a therapeutic protein, LIGHT, to induce the formation of mature tertiary lymphoid structures (mTLSs) in laboratory models.

NewsYeast in gut microbiome can worsen salmonella infection
Researchers have discovered that a yeast commonly found in our gut can make infection with salmonella worse. Salmonella binds to Candida albicans and triggers a chain reaction that allows the bacteria to better invade cells lining the intestines.

NewsBacterial signaling molecule that choreographs flip between biofilm and motility could transform biotechnology and medical applications
A bacterial signaling molecule involved in flipping the switch between sessile and motile forms could offer huge potential in improving probiotics, boosting wastewater treatment and producing therapeutic compounds.

NewsBacteriostatic activity and mechanism of minerals containing rubidium
A new paper on traditional Chinese medicine outlines the bacteriostatic activity and mechanism of minerals containing rubidium (MCR).

NewsNovel breath test shows promise for diagnosing and monitoring bacterial infections
A new, non-invasive breath test has emerged as a potential breakthrough for rapidly diagnosing bacterial infections and tracking treatment effectiveness.

NewsScientists lift lid on Salmonella dry surface biofilm
Food scientists have revealed key characteristics of the foodborne pathogen Salmonella dry surface biofilm (DSB), a previously overlooked type of biofilm that commonly exists in dry food processing environments.

NewsAI able to identify drug-resistant typhoid-like infection from microscopy images in matter of hours
Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, researchers have shown. An algorithm can be trained to identify drug-resistant bacteria correctly from microscopy images alone.

NewsResearchers discover how a deadly strain of salmonella fine-tunes its infection tactics
A new study investigates how pathogens like salmonella change their disease characteristics under fluid shear conditions like those they encounter in our bodies during infection.

NewsScientists probe spermidine production to combat emerging drug resistance in Salmonella
Scientists have pinpointed how Salmonella Typhimurium uses a key molecule called spermidine to shield itself from the onslaught of the host’s defence machinery - and an existing FDA-approved drug can reduce spermidine production.
