Lung disease is a general term for several disorders that include airway diseases, lung tissue diseases, and lung circulation diseases, some of which may lead to respiratory failure. During the course ...

A recent study on the application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) found that mNGS can achieve early detection of pathogens and accelerate the development of targeted anti-infection ...

Researchers use a unique barcoding system to track K. pneumoniae bacteria as it moved throughout the body. Bacteremia, or blood poisoning, occurs when bacteria overcome the body's immune defenses.

Airborne Pathogens - The Hidden Health Hazard: A recent Bose Institute study highlights that microscopic PM2.5 particles act as carriers, allowing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens to travel deep ...

The mechanisms linking pulmonary structure, mechanics and breathing patterns, reflux, and dysfunction of the upper gut are highly complex.

Blue-colored electron microscope image of Pandoraea sputorum, a pathogen from the lung microbiome that has been little studied to date. Bacteria of the genus Pandoraea have not been studied much to ...

SAN DIEGO — Researchers at UC San Diego have developed microscopic algae-based robots that can deliver medication directly to the lungs, offering a promising new approach for treating respiratory ...

An interdisciplinary research team led by the Leibniz-HKI in Jena has discovered a new group of bioactive natural compounds in pathogenic bacteria of the genus Pandoraea: pandorabactins. They enable ...

Snakes are threatened with extinction in many places around the globe. Disease, often caused by parasites or fungi, is ...

Given together, two medications unexpectedly improved the clearance of mucus from the lungs of animals. Stanford Medicine researchers will test them in people.
