Researchers have identified Limosilactobacillus mucosae and Ligilactobacillus ruminis as human gut bacteria capable of ...

Hydrogen breath tests are a diagnostic tool that doctors use to identify small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), lactose intolerance, and other digestive conditions. The test measures the amount ...

Swarming is one of the principal forms of bacterial motility facilitated by flagella and surfactants. It plays a distinctive role in both disease and healing. For example, in urinary tract infections ...

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

Bacteria in the small intestine can deaminate levodopa, the main drug that is used to treat Parkinson's disease. Bacterial processing of the unabsorbed fractions of the drug results in a metabolite ...

AUGUSTA, Ga. (Aug. 6, 2018) - Probiotic use can result in a significant accumulation of bacteria in the small intestine that can result in disorienting brain fogginess as well as rapid, significant ...

Scientists are studying how bacteria move across surfaces -- a process known as twitching motility. New findings led to the surprising discovery of the key role surface properties play in either ...

In many naturally occurring habitats, bacteria live in micrometersize confined spaces. Although bacterial growth and motility in such constrictions is of great interest to fields as varied as soil ...
