One of the characteristics of life is that living organisms gather information and put it to use. Even one of the simplest lifeforms, bacteria, are able to sense features of their surroundings and alter their behavior accordingly. Most impressively, they are able to sense the presence of similar bacteria by a process called quorum sensing. Today's guest, Bonnie Bassler, is a leader in this field, and explains how quorum sensing allows groups of bacteria to do things (including in our bodies) that wouldn't be possible for individual bacteria.

Sujit Datta, head of Caltech's "Squishy Lab", describes how bacteria behave in fluid such as mucous and lead to infection.

Smoke from wildfires burning in Ontario have caused air quality to reach "dangerous" levels across Canada, and the northeastern and midwestern United States. And it could get worse before conditions improve. Also, towers on 76 buildings on the Upper East Side have tested positive for the bacteria, the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said Tuesday. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kelvin Cooper, CEO of Lakewood-Amedex Biotherapeutics, has developed a novel class of antimicrobials that operate by disrupting bacterial and fungal cell membranes, rapidly killing the microorganisms. Traditional antimicrobials work by inhibiting bacterial growth, but bacteria have evolved resistance mechanisms against all drug classes, with multidrug-resistant strains becoming increasingly common. The company is focused on treating infected diabetic foot ulcers with a topical gel formulation that locally delivers a high drug concentration while minimizing systemic side effects. Kelvin explains, "You can go back all the way to the discovery of penicillin a century ago, and there was tremendous excitement around that. And then through the 40s, when they figured out how to deep tank ferment the antibacterials, the beta lactams, as it was then, again, there was no real indication that resistance was going to be that big of a problem."   "What we have done at Lakewood-Amedex Biotherapeutics is we've discovered a completely new class of antimicrobials, and it's probably good to give some context of how most antimicrobials work. Typically, what they do is they will stop the bacteria from dividing and growing, and that prevents the bacteria from causing an infection. Now the bacteria and fungi have figured out ways to mutate around that. So they have a different way of building cell walls, for example. And that has become the big problem. Our class of agents hits a completely different type of mechanism. We believe that what happens, and we have good scientific data to show this, is that this class of agents attacks the membrane of bacteria and fungi. It disrupts the membrane, which allows the contents of whatever microbe it is to spill out, and it immediately kills the bacteria extremely rapidly." #LakewoodAmedex #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #InfectiousDiseases #Antibiotics #Antimicrobials #DiabeticFoot #DiabeticFootUlcer #HealthcareInnovation   #DiabeticCare #Biotech #PublicHealth #MedicalBreakthrough $LABT lakewoodamedex.com Download the transcript here

At this time of the year, talkback listeners are often picking up the phone to complain about the Lichen that become more and more numerous on their favourite tree, on its main stems and branches. What's more, the leaves are reducing in size and density, which makes the Lichen do soooo much better! Lichen are a remarkable collaborative group of organisms – they all work together and often sit on branches, rocks, soil and other lovely areas in sunshine. The dominant partner is a Mycobiont, belonging to the group of Fungi. It provides shelter for its mates (U-V Light, etc) and often sucks up moisture and minerals. The second, important, phytosynthetic partner is a Photobiont (Alga, Green Algae, or Cyanobacteria). They can do photosynthesis and create sugars for the partner team. There are other partners such as yeasts, technically known as Basidiomycetes, apparently producing defensive chemicals against microbes (and perhaps even predators!). A Microbiome Bacteria is very specific in its job as a collaborative Lichen: it's often the host of localised bacteria communities settled inside the Lichen bodies where they work on nitrogen fixing, sometimes vitamin production, or even nutrient cycling! Isn't it amazing? Yes, I know it all sounds very scientific. I remember from the past that we only knew about two species of participants forming an active Lichen group – now we're looking at groups of collaborating primitive critters that work together, are not parasitic, do not eat leaves or branches or fruit, and certainly do not cause fatal trouble in your garden! The Lichen simply look for nice, sunny spaces where they can grow and create pretty patterns on the trunks of trees. They feed each other from their own ability to grow the food items they so desire. And here's another lovely thing they do: their home pattern on the branches are the best hiding places for predatory insects that help to keep your trees, shrubs ,and elegant branches free from the pests that eat your treasures… So… how about some extra general fertiliser that will make your trees grow a few more leaves and makes that habitat darker and lusher. The Lichen will simply adapt to your gorgeous looking tree. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our bodies are filled with bacteria that have rich social lives and, just like people, these microbial neighbours and families do not always get along. In some cases, it is the bacterial equivalent of The Sopranos. Dr Sally Le Page delves into the bacterial dramas of loners, crowd-lovers, backstabbers and do-gooders that are fighting it out in the world and inside our bodies. Co-operation, cheating and selfish behaviour can all lead to benefits or disease so scientists are studying this behaviour to help produce new medicines and clean up our environment.

¿Cómo sobrevivir a una sepsis que te arrebata las extremidades? La increíble historia de Carla MarondaCarla Maronda tenía 25 años y una vida plena: CrossFit, másteres, caballos. Una operación rutinaria cambió todo. Contrajo una bacteria que le provocó una sepsis fulminante, cinco paradas cardiorrespiratorias y un coma inducido de doce días. Los médicos redactaron su acta de defunción. Sobrevivió a un 5% de probabilidades, pero la noradrenalina que salvó sus órganos sacrificó sus extremidades. El 28 de mayo de 2024 le amputaron las cuatro extremidades.Una lección de resiliencia que demuestra que siempre hay motivos para seguir adelante.#LFDE #UriSabat #SuperaciónPersonal #Resiliencia #HistoriasDeVida #Salud #Motivación #CrecimientoPersonal #CarlaMaronda #LaFórmulaDelÉxitoEL LIBRO de La Fórmula del éxito.

There is a murderous crime spree happening right under—and perhaps inside—our noses. Killer microbes armed with weapons are eviscerating, assassinating, and detonating their fellow microbes. And the newest culprit? A protist that morphs into a cannibilastic supergiant when times get tough.  Host Flora Lichtman talks with Glen D'Souza and Ben Larson, two detectives who study these micro-murders. They chat about why microbes kill, how they choose their victims, and whether we can harness those weapons for good.  Guests: Dr. Glen D'Souza is a microbiologist and assistant professor at Arizona State University in Tempe.  Dr. Ben Larson is an assistant professor and cell biologist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York.  Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Hace 2.000 millones de años, la aparición de las células eucariotas revolucionó la vida en el planeta y con el tiempo darían lugar a protistas, plantas, hongos y animales. Para explicar su origen, Lynn Margulis propuso en la década de 1960 su teoría endosimbiótica, en la que una célula primitiva engulló a otra, dando origen a las mitocondrias. Seis décadas después, un trabajo liderado por científicos españoles, con la ayuda del supercomputador MareNostrum 5 de Barcelona, confirma que la intuición de Margulis fue acertada, aunque replantea el origen de nuestras células como una historia de alianzas microbianas con actores hasta ahora desconocidos. Hemos entrevistado a Toni Gabaldón, profesor ICREA, director del grupo de Genómica Comparada en el BSC y en el IRB, y líder de la investigación.-Faltan menos de dos meses para el eclipse total de Sol que podremos ver en buena parte de la Península Ibérica y son muchas las iniciativas en marcha. La última, de la Sociedad Española de Astronomía, es “Un mundo de eclipses”, un atlas interactivo sobre las interpretaciones de los eclipses solares en las culturas del mundo. Hemos hablado con Montse Villar, coordinadora del proyecto. Hemos informado de la concesión del Premio Princesa de Asturias de la Concordia 2026 a la astronauta estadounidense Christina Koch por "extender las fronteras de la humanidad, apoyada en un amplio trabajo colectivo". Koch fue miembro de la tripulación de Artemisa II alrededor de la Luna, y durante su estancia en la EEI fue la primera mujer en protagonizar una caminata espacial y la que más tiempo ha permanecido en el espacio. Con Xiomara Cantera, directora de NaturalMente, hemos celebrado los primeros 50 números de esta revista que publica trimestralmente el Museo Nacional de ciencias Naturales, del CSIC.

Romanos 8:22“Sabemos que toda la creación gime a una, y a una está con dolores de parto hasta ahora”.Podría llegar como buenas noticias saber que las bacterias que nos enferman se enferman también. De alguna manera parece justo que ellas experimenten un poco de su propia medicina, dicho de esta forma. Y bien podría ser que el hacer que las bacterias que causan enfermedad se enfermen es justo la medicina que necesitamos.El hecho de que las bacterias tengan sus propios enemigos microscópicos fue primero descubierto en 1925. Los antibióticos aún quedaban muy lejos en el futuro, así que los científicos empezaron a aprender acerca de los enemigos de las bacterias para poder empezar una verdadera guerra de gérmenes contra otros gérmenes. Ellos esperaban que sus esfuerzos conllevaran a curas para la neumonía, la tuberculosis, el cólera y la difteria. Pero nadie pudo perfeccionar un tratamiento que funcionara.Hoy nuestra investigación médica mucho más avanzada otra vez se ha vuelto a interesar en este asunto, ya que más bacterias parecen resistir nuestros mejores antibióticos. La investigación centrada en virus llamados bacteriófagos, que literalmente significa “comedores de bacteria”. Una hora después de que un bacteriófago ha infectado a una bacteria y se ha reproducido en ella, mata a esa bacteria y se esparce hacia otros. En recientes exámenes, los bacteriófagos han comprobado ser más efectivos que los antibióticos en curar algunas infecciones de ganado. Y como son vivos, los bacteriófagos pasan de animal en animal, compartiendo la resistencia a la enfermedad.Una vez más aprendemos de nuestro Creador sobre como aliviar el sufrimiento humano.Oración: Te agradezco, Señor, que Tú permites que la humanidad aprenda como Tú has hecho las cosas para que tengamos menos sufrimiento en esta vida. Llena a la gente con un mayor deseo de saber como nuestro sufrimiento más profundo, debido al pecado, se cura a través de la obra salvadora de Cristo.

New Zealand researchers are warning climate change may mean an increase in bacteria infected seafood and the water itself. The group of waterborne bacteria called Vibrio can cause stomach bugs, infect cuts if you're swimming in it, and seafood containing the bacteria can also make you sick. The bacteria flourish in a warm environment. Science Leader at the NZ Institute for Public Health and Forensic Science, Nicola King, spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode of See See by Ceci, N. Katherine Hayles, Distinguished Research Professor at UCLA, James B. Duke Professor Emerita at Duke, Guggenheim Fellow and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, joins us from the rare crossroads at which she has worked for forty years: literature, science, technology and, now, artificial intelligence. Trained as a chemist at Rochester and Caltech before crossing into literary scholarship, she is a foremost authority on the relations between literature and computational media, and the author of How We Became Posthuman (1999) and, most recently, Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts (University of Chicago Press, 2025). In this rich and demanding conversation, Hayles redefines cognition as the interpretation of information in contexts that connect with meaning, a capacity she ascribes to bacteria, plants, fungi, animals and, increasingly, AI. She walks us through her integrated cognitive framework and the SIRAL criteria (sensing, interpreting, responding adaptively, anticipating, learning); through von Uexküll's umwelt, the world each species spins for itself; through cognitive assemblages in which humans, microbes and machines decide together; and through her sharp distinction between actors and agents. As a literary critic, she also turns her gaze on AI-produced literature, on hallucinations as imagination, and on Walter Benjamin's aura in the age of the deep fake. With reflections from neuroscientist John Cryan on the gut microbiome, historian Richard Bourke on the Kantian self, classicist Richard P. Martin on AI and imagination, and choreographer Alexander Whitley on embodiment. This is an episode about the uncoupling of cognition from consciousness, Hayles' most crucial move. About a posthuman in which the human itself is being rewritten. And about the very determined optimism of a thinker who insists that hope is not the reward at the end of the work, but the precondition for it. N. Katherine Hayles is the author of twelve influential books, including the landmark How We Became Posthuman, widely regarded as a seminal foundation for posthumanism, My Mother Was a Computer: Digital Subjects and Literary Texts (2005), Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious (2017), and her latest, Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts (University of Chicago Press, 2025). A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Rockefeller Foundation, Hayles has transformed our understanding of the digital age.

This is the conversation I have been waiting to have. If you are doing the breathwork, the meditation, the supplements, the protocols, and you are STILL feeling anxious, inflamed, bloated, and exhausted, this episode will explain why. My guest is Dr. Pedram Shojai, The Urban Monk. He is a New York Times bestselling author and a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and the man who first came on this show talking about stress and the nervous system. Years later, after a wild full-circle moment in a group coaching call, we are back together to talk about what he is doing NOW: the connection between the nervous system and the oral and gut microbiomes.

Google's Debug program is releasing 64 million Wolbachia-infected sterile male mosquitoes into parts of Florida and California over four years to combat disease-spreading mosquitoes.The Sterile Insect Technique works by having these males mate with wild females, causing their eggs to fail to hatch (via cytoplasmic incompatibility), which gradually crashes the local mosquito population over generations.The approach has shown strong results in past trials (90 percent+ reductions), but it carries risks such as imperfect male/female sorting by AI and potential ecological disruptions if mosquitoes are fully eliminated from an area.Let's go through the details together.

We're sans Rob this week but are delighted to have Dr Kimberly Hardy Martin DMD join us in a broad and sometimes lighthearted discussion of the mouth and all the stuff in it.  Bacteria, Tonsil Stones, Wisdom Teeth, all the stuff. This is the first ever episode in 6 seasons where Denis doesn't swear. Don't get used to it, we're going back to politics next week.

Bacteria found in the eye may offer new clues about inflammation, cognitive decline, and the progression of Alzheimer's disease.Dr. Maya Koronyo-Hamaoui, a professor of neurosurgery, neurology and biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University, has found that Chlamydia pneumoniae, a common respiratory bacterium, may be linked to Alzheimer's disease-related changes in the brain and retina. Her work, focusing on Alzheimer's disease, neuroinflammation and retinal imaging, seeks to improve how neurodegenerative diseases are detected, monitored, and treated.During this conversation with Being Patient's Mark Niu, Koronyo-Hamaoui explained how her team found evidence of Chlamydia pneumoniae in eye and brain tissue, with higher bacterial burden associated with more severe Alzheimer's disease. She also discussed how the retina may serve as a noninvasive window into brain health, why chronic inflammation may play a role in disease progression, and why future research is needed to understand whether infection may contribute to Alzheimer's risk in some people.---If you loved listening to this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter:   / being_patient_  Instagram:   / beingpatientvoices  Facebook:   / beingpatientalzheimers  LinkedIn:   / being-patient  Being Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

In this episode of the Medical Matters Podcast, Dr. Peter Brier and Nurse Practitioner Kelly McCormick discuss the recent rise in cases of Ebola and Hantavirus -- the differences, symptoms, and treatments are considered.The goal of this podcast is to provide background, historical context, and explain how the viruses are taking hold. Ebola is largely active in Central and West Africa, and cases may be tracked at this website -- as for Hantavirus, cases are seen in South Africa and South America, and may also be tracked.Further, experts note that the US is likely not fully prepared to guard against an outbreak of either disease.

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever felt better temporarily after antibiotics, herbals, or restrictive diets only to have symptoms slowly return again, this episode explains why that happens and what's often being missed underneath the surface.Rather than viewing SIBO as simply “bad bacteria coming back,” Alyssa walks through the larger gut environment that allows overgrowth to happen in the first place — including motility issues, digestion problems, nervous system dysregulation, constipation, microbiome depletion, and impaired gut defenses.You'll learn:Why recurring SIBO is usually not just one single “root cause”The difference between treating bacterial overgrowth vs restoring gut functionHow the small intestine normally regulates bacterial balanceWhy impaired motility and the migrating motor complex matter so muchThe role of stomach acid, bile flow, digestive enzymes, and gut immunityWhy symptom relief does not always mean the gut environment has recoveredThe hidden reasons SIBO keeps relapsing after treatmentWhy restrictive diets alone rarely create lasting recoveryHow chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation affect digestionWhat needs to improve to make long-term progress possibleFree resources:Download Alyssa's FREE SIBO Diet Recipe Collection for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dessert ideas that support gut healing without unnecessary restriction. Watch Alyssa's FREE Masterclass: “Why Your Gut Still Isn't Better — The Real Reason You Feel Stuck” Book your free 15-minute strategy call, and we'll look at your symptom history, what you've already tried, and whether working together makes sense, along with what that would look like. Learn more about Nutrition Resolution's Signature Healthy Gut Restoration Program — a personalized, root-cause approach to addressing bloating, constipation, and underlying digestive imbalances.DM “GUT CHECK” on Alyssa's Instagram for a personalized quiz and free meal plans & resources tailored to your symptoms.Find Alyssa on: Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest  -Looking for a supportive Gut Health community?

First up on the podcast, Senior International Correspondent Richard Stone joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss the surprising commonalities between our immune systems and the tools bacteria use to defend themselves against viruses. These unexpected parallels have become rich ground for researchers investigating new molecular biology tools and model systems for immune research. Next on the show, Dominic Rohner, a professor of economics at the Geneva Graduate Institute and University of Lausanne, talks about the impact of cuts in international aid on violent conflict in Africa. His team harnessed the natural experiment of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) work stoppage ordered by the Trump administration in early 2025 to find links between the sudden withdrawal of high levels of aid to increases in conflict. See also Science's 2025 news series on the impact of USAID cuts on children. Finally, Valerie Thompson, Science's books and media editor, interviews undergraduate student and author Theo Baker. Baker wrote the book How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University, which covers the heavy involvement of Silicon Valley investors in Stanford University and his investigation of research misconduct by former Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Bob: Toke the Bacteria and Parasites Stool Test, show very high Inflammation markers, Lactoferrin 200 µg/mL < 7.3 Calprotectin 1534 µg/g < 80 Lysozyme* 3810 ng/mL ≤ 500 I stop all supplement except DNS before the test and continue for over a month, by The time I got the results I went from watery diarrhea to a more formed stool, less urgency and went from 10 bowel movements to 3- 5 daily. With no bowel movements after 11:30 am until early next day. What are your thoughts? Thank you for all you do!      Allen: Dear Dr. Cabral: One bout of food poisoning completely destroyed my microbiome, and now I have to take probiotics for the rest of my life just to feel normal. How come beneficial bacteria don't seem to colonize and thrive as well as pathogenic bacteria? You would think that the probiotics would eventually restore the microbiome — especially over a period of years — but they never do. I always hear that they're transient and can only help you as long as you keep taking them. Why is that? Thank you.      Jasmine: Hi there, thanks so much for providing this option to ask questions directly to you! My son is almost 2 and has dealt with eczema since about 16 MO, has a reaction to peanut butter that causes it to worsen, the sun, heat, and water (of any sort but especially pools/chlorine) in the summer really flare it up. He is now having early spring allergies to the pollen for the first time. Would you give me a detailed layout of what you would do if he was your child? Testing/supps/protocols etc. I really want to resolve this for him and get his immune system functioning at his best! Thank you so much for all you provide-I completely fixed my gut through your protocols about 10 years back and haven't looked back!!      Chelsie: Hi Dr Cabral, My husband was told by his DR. he had low Testosterone and was put on TRT about a year ago at about a 1.5 mil a week. He usually takes the full dose one time a week which I feel REALLY fluctuates his hormones and doesn't seem healthy. Through learning things through my own health journey I am worried about his does being so high. He is 6 foot 4, 280lbs and built like a NFL line backer but his Dr. seems to be fine with it as long as he is feeling good. I worry about the long term effects this might have on him the rest of his life. Is it possible to get him off of synthetic TRT and get his natural test up on it's own?      Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I've adhered to your Himalayanor or celtic salt with lime/lemon or ACV with water on mornings. And adding a bit of salt to larger water bottles given active job and training. However, I saw Dr Jason Fung, kidney specialist, on Twitter saying "you drink a lot of water, you will pee it out. That's what your kidneys do (speaking as a kidney specialist). I drink plain water (yes, without salt) almost every day of my life, as did virtually all humans for the last, say, million years. No, I am not worried about 'dehydrating' myself by drinking water. ". This was in response to someone recommending adding salt to water in morning as plain water w/o electrolytes can dilute sodium levels and make hydration worse. Is Dr. Fung right or??    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3719 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Doctor and special correspondent Avir Mitra takes Executive Editor Soren Wheeler, plus a live studio audience, on a journey from the operating room to inside the body to the farm to the sewers and back again—searching for answers to an alarming threat to humanity's existence as we know it: antibiotic resistance in bacteria.  This live show, performed in New York City and also in Little Rock, Arkansas, is part of a series we're doing with Avir that we are calling “Viscera.” Each event is a conversation that takes the audience on a journey into a quirk or question or mystery inside of us, and gives them a visceral experience of the viscera within us. The previous installment of the series was called “The Elixir of Life.” (https://radiolab.org/podcast/the-elixir-of-life)Special thanks to all of Little Rock Public Radio (especially Grace Zafasi and Jonathan Seaborn), Thomas Patterson, The Greene Space staff, CALS Ron Robinson Theater, Tom Philpott, Stephen Roach, Kate Shaw, Alex Wong, Maryn McKenna, and Kerri McClimen.If you are a patients or a doctor, and you are interested in phage therapy, please contact IPATH@ucsd.edu EPISODE CREDITS:  Reported by - Avir Mitra Produced by - Jessica Yung Sound design contributed by - Jeremy Bloom and Jessica Yung Fact-checking by -Natalie Middleton EPISODE CITATIONS: Videos - Check out the video from the Viscera live show (and a bonus Q&A with Bruce Stewart-Brown and Steffanie Strathdee) on Radiolab's YouTube (https://zpr.io/3BK9MqJYVKQA).
