This could eventually allow doctors to establish beneficial bacteria right after birth
A team from the University of Exeter, with support from Shell, has developed a method to make bacteria produce diesel on demand
Most E. coli are harmless or even beneficial, but the bacteria get a bad rap because of toxin-producing strains such as 0157:H7. Scientists at the University of Exeter in England are using E. coli to produce another toxic product, but in this case a good one — diesel fuel. According to the university release, theAntibiotic-resistant E. coli will survive in the soil to recolonize in a cow’s gut through pasture, forage or bedding
Washington State University researchers have found an unlikely recipe for antibiotic-resistant bacteria: Mix cow dung and soil, and add urine infused with metabolized antibiotic. The urine will kill off normal E. coli in the dung-soil mixture. But antibiotic-resistant E. coli will survive in the soil to recolonize in a cow’s gut through pasture, forage or
