Researchers suggest that wound dressings infused with antioxidants such as catalase could be an effective future treatment.

Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...

To confirm the central role of this process, the scientists used a genetically modified strain of E. faecalis lacking the EET ...

A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular 'slime' when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

An international team of scientists, led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new way that could speed up the healing of chronic wounds infected by ...

This type of infection cannot be eliminated by host defense mechanisms, and needs to be treated by chemical–mechanical procedures. 6 Irrigation by chemical solutions should be aimed to eliminate both ...

A team found that Enterococcus faecalis delays chronic wound healing by producing damaging reactive oxygen species.
