Stanford scientists discovered that a harmless skin bacterium triggers a powerful immune response. By tweaking a bacterial ...

Risk factors include Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization ... without any other apparent source. Gram-positive cocci, predominantly S. epidermidis and S. aureus, cause bacteremia in two ...

We assess the ultrastructure of MTB as a function of depth using light and electron microscopy. We evidence the biogeochemical niche of magnetotactic cocci, capable of sequestering large PolyP ...

One key aspect of the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus lies in its ability to target the host cell membrane with a large number of membrane-damaging toxins and peptides. In this review, we describe ...
