Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for our overall health, and using mouthwash can be a great addition to our oral care routine. Try these DIY mouthwashes as a recent study has found that alcohol-based mouthwashes are not good for oral health.
A recent study suggests gargling with an antiseptic mouthwash may help reduce periodontitis-related bacteria in diabetes patients, offering a simple way to improve overall health.
Fried Rice Syndrome is back after 15 years. The condition happens when the bacteria grows and releases toxins. Know more about the viral syndrome here.
Conventional vaccines function by instructing the human immune system to identify a virus or bacteria as a threat that needs to be combated. However, the newly developed vaccine takes a radically different approach, erasing the immune system's memory of a specific molecule.
Five bacteria types--- E.Coli, S.pneumoniae, K.pneumoniae, S.aureus and A.baumanii, caused nearly 6.8 lakh deaths in India in 2019, according to a study in the Lancet journal. There were 7.7 million (77 lakh) deaths in 2019 associated with 33 common bacterial infections. Read to know more.
Are you planning to travel and thinking about how to take care of your health as you are prone to allergies? Some simple tips like keeping a first aid kit close by at all times and staying near a hospital can come in handy.
Immune system works as an important agent for the body. It regulates the functioning of the body, which results in a good health for a longer period. But, there are several body monsters like bacteria, fungi, and viruses, which attack the body and make our immune system weak. Let’s check out the signs that make our body the home for unwanted invaders.
Sodium in any diet is a very tricky thing to maintain. A low sodium diet has many health benefits. It is believed that one should always consume sodium in moderate quantities, as it opens the door to good health. Here are the top 10 reasons why low sodium intake is good for you.
Researchers at Oregon State University in the US have found that a few organisms in the gut microbiome play a key role in type 2 diabetes, opening the door to possible probiotic treatments for a serious metabolic disease.
A rising tide of antibiotic-resistant bacteria -- if left unchecked, could kill an estimated 10 million people annually by 2050 -- was a fact known in the pre-Corona era and the Covid-19 situation has now put millions at risk by increasing their resistance to the antibiotics, warn researchers.
After one year of exposure to low Earth orbit (LEO) outside the International Space Station, researchers found that the extremophilic bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans escaped morphological damage and produced numerous outer membrane vesicles.
The highly variable colour patterns seen on African monarch butterflies (Danaus chrysippus) which warn predators that the insect is toxic, may arise from its interaction with a bacterium that specifically kills males of the species, a new study says.
Bacteria living in household dust can spread genes that provide antibiotics countering ability to others, according to a study that may lead to new interventions to tackle drug resistance in microbes.
A study by scientists from Stanford University and the University of Manitoba revealed that early school-aged children (in the age group of 5-7) showed a connection between the bacteria in their gut and their behaviour.
"Make-up products used every day by millions of people in the UK are contaminated with potentially deadly bugs, such as E.coli and Staphylococci because most are not being cleaned and are used far beyond their expiry dates," said study lead author Amreen Bashir from Aston University in the US.
The researchers mapped the genes that are essential to this process and added some of them to the bacteria genome in their lab.
In the study published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers described a process that may unlock the commercial potential of this low-calorie, low-glycemic sugar.
Closely-related bats may have completely different communities of microbes, according to a study which suggests that gut bacteria may not be as important for the flying furry mammals as it is for other animals
