Battling antibiotic-resistant pathogens one door knob at a time

We’ve gained a new weapon in the fight against harmful and often antibiotic-resistant pathogens with the development of a unique material engineered to limit disease spread and replace current cumbersome cleaning protocols on high-touch surfaces like door knobs and hand rails. Using the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), researchers from […]

Gut inflammation caused by substance secreted by microbe

A rare subtype of the world’s most common parasite, Blastocystis, has been  found to produce a unique by-product of its metabolism, which can cause gut inflammation under normal gut conditions. The human gut—or gastrointestinal system—where food is broken down into nutrients for the body, is an ecosystem that harbours thousands of bacteria species. While some […]
