This tiny device that can rapidly detect harmful bacteria in the blood

Drug-resistant bacteria, or superbugs, are a significant public health concern. Globally, at least 700,000 individuals kick the bucket every year because of drug-resistant infections,...

White blood cells (blue) attack two Klebsiella bacteria (pink) in this colorized scanning electron microscopic image. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the biotech startup VaxNewMo have developed a vaccine that is effective, in mice, against hypervirulent strains of Klebsiella that can cause life-threatening infections in healthy adults.

Scientists produced effective vaccine against Klebsiella pneumoniae

Life-threatening bacterial infections are spreading.

Gavin King and a team of scientists used this atomic force microscope, bottom right, to study the movement of the E.coli proteins. Unlike previous studies where proteins were frozen, the atomic force microscope allows researchers to observe the proteins moving in a fluid environment that closely resembles their natural environment.
