Infectious diseases are a major cause of death worldwide, and diagnosing bacterial infections remains a challenge in medicine. And doing so reliably is more important than ever, given the increasing frequency of antibiotic resistance. Now, research published in ACS Central Science could help healthcare professionals non-invasively diagnose bacterial infections, using breath-based tests. Initial experiments demonstrated the approach in animals with pneumonia and infections in the bloodstream, muscles and bones. In designing … Read more
A novel engineered microbial system transforms discarded plastic into a frontline Parkinson’s treatment, offering a glimpse into a future where waste becomes medicine. Study: Microbial upcycling of plastic waste to levodopa.

Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the bacteria that causes tuberculosis fuels itself during infection, providing new insights into one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases. The study, published in The EMBO Journal, provides the first detailed 3D structure of a protein called EtfD, which the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis uses to extract energy from lipids (fats), along with the first laboratory … Read more
Scientists reveal how shifts in the vaginal microbiome during pregnancy may influence inflammation and preterm birth risk, pointing to new microbiome-based therapies that could improve maternal and infant health outcomes. Study: The vaginal microbiome in pregnancy and preterm birth: mechanisms, disparities, and therapeutic opportunities.

A new mouse study reveals that under certain dietary conditions, gut bacteria can reach the brain without entering the bloodstream, suggesting a possible vagus nerve route and raising new questions about the gut–brain connection. Study: Translocation of bacteria from the gut to the brain in mice. Image Credit: Corona Borealis Studio / Shutterstock In a … Read more
A new study has found that a prebiotic fiber supplement reduced pain, improved grip strength, and lowered pain sensitivity in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) – with far fewer dropouts than a digital physiotherapy programme. The INSPIRE clinical trial, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, showed that taking a daily supplement of inulin- a … Read more
A multi-center study led by researchers at Cincinnati Children’s sheds surprising new light on why some newborns become severely ill from Escherichia coli infection, but others do not. Turns out that most babies are immune because of germ-fighting antibodies they receive from their moms. The study, published March 11, 2026, in the prestigious journal Nature, … Read more
The COVID-19 pandemic brought messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to the forefront of global health care. After their clinical trial stages, the first COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was administered on 8 December 2020 and mathematical models suggest that mRNA vaccines prevented at least 14.4 million deaths from COVID-19 in the first year alone. Their extraordinary effectiveness in having … Read more
