Scientists have documented a notable case of antibiotic resistance evolving within a critically ill patient during treatment ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies ...

The researchers repeatedly found that contaminated irrigation water — particularly from overhead spray methods — was a key route for E. coli O157 contamination of romaine lettuce.

E. coli exists normally in the guts of healthy people and animals, but some strains can cause symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea and other digestive issues.

In a landmark feat of genetic engineering, researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge have ...

But for a dozen beaches across the state, swimming is not recommended. The Iowa DNR suggests avoiding those 12 beaches, most of which have E. coli levels that are too high.

STAFFORD -- Health authorities closed a beach in Manahawkin on July 17 due to high levels of a bacteria that is frequently found in the feces and intestines of humans and animals. Authorities ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have engineered a strain of Escherichia coli that relies on small molecules from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles to survive.

Significantly high levels of E. coli were detected when testing samples from the James River from several points near Richmond's downtown area.
