Infective endocarditis is a devastating, progressive and frequently fatal heart disease usually caused by bacterial pathogens. It was first identified in the nineteenth century and has changed beyond ...
Health and Medicine | Read moreBacteria's sticky glue is clue to vaccine
Around one third of all people and many animals carry Staphylococcus aureus, which simply lives on most of us as a biofilm fairly harmlessly. Occasionally it causes minor spots on our skin, abscesses ...
Health and Medicine | Read moreNew step forward in search for solution to infection puzzle
The study could help in the development of new treatments for serious heart conditions such as infective endocarditis. The researchers studied the way a protein found on the surface of the bac...
