When ships sink, they add artificial structures to the seafloor that can quickly become diverse, ecologically important underwater communities.

Fungal infections can be among the hardest to treat, and since the pandemic began they’ve become only more common. To prevent future antifungal resistance, scientists have developed tiny molecular drills.

Multidrug-resistant fungal infections are an emerging global health threat. Figuring out how fungi evade treatments offers new avenues to counter resistance.

Normally land-bound pathogens that cause deadly diseases for both humans and animals can cling to microplastics and end up in your seafood.

A new dental tool that uses LED light to spot acidity in plaque bacteria could flag a tooth at risk of developing a cavity.

The biofilms that cling to sewer walls often contain harmful, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and can withstand standard treatment to disinfect sewers, research finds.

Bacteria on produce can spread and lead to cross-contamination on other fruit and veggies. A new coating could stop that from happening.

The growth of bacteria colonies called biofilms is actually a lot like the way human cities grow, researchers have found.

Bacteria buck Charles Darwin's theory of "survival of the fittest" and instead work together to lift up the weakest in their group to boost survival.

In the lab, a compound prevents and even reverses resistance to the antibiotic isoniazid, a common treatment for tuberculosis.
