HOSPITALS do more than house sick patients while they are treated. They also provide convenient havens for dangerous bacteria. Cramming infirm people into one place creates the ideal breeding ground for disease. Add a sprinkling of antibiotics and drug-resistant strains emerge-the superbugs that are endemic in many places. One doctor, however, thin

Microwave ovens may be good for more than just zapping the leftovers; they may also help protect your family. More than 90-plus percent of Americans with microwaves in their kitchens have a powerful weapon against E. coli, salmonella and other bugs at the root of increasing incidents of potentially deadly food poisoning and other illnesses.

Bacteria may soon be helping you to fight tooth decay and underarm stench! Chewing gum, toothpaste and deodorant may soon be added with beneficial bacteria. A new strain of lactobacillus called L. anti-caries, forces the tooth decay-causing bacteria Strepptococcus mutans to clump together — preventing them from attaching to the tooth surface enam

Scientists at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich revealed today how the promiscuous Salmonella bacterium protects itself from getting ill after acquiring foreign DNA through “sex” with other bacteria. This discovery could lead to the design of new antibiotics to fight this killer disease.
