Eating Feta cheese made from raw milk in small seaside tavernas when you are on holiday in Greece could be a good way to combat food poisoning, according to researchers speaking Thursday, April 3, 2008 at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Nipah virus is a new and deadly brain and lung disease that emerged from Singapore and Malaysia ten years ago.

It is now spreading into rural India and Bangladesh killing up to three-quarters of the people who become infected in some outbreaks, scientists heard Thursday April 3, 2008 at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Natural sugars found in breast milk that are now included in prebiotic foods may help in the fight against Salmonella and other food poisoning bacteria, scientists heard Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Cholera outbreaks may soon be predicted using satellite sensors, paving the way for preemptive medicine in countries that suffer epidemics, says Distinguished University Professor Rita Colwell, speaking Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Lots of work is being done to recognize and control infections such as community acquired MRSA and the UK is learning from situations in community and health care settings both here and abroad to stay ahead of the game, scientists will be told today at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

New methods that involve sticking thousands of bacteria-killing viruses to wound dressings are offering ways to prevent hospital operating theaters from spreading infections, scientists heard Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Drug resistant hospital superbugs like MRSA have been kept under control in Denmark for more than 30 years.

But the latest reports say that in the last 10 years MRSA cases have risen 10 times as new strains of bacteria with resistance genes spread through the community, scientists heard Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Doctors are running out of treatments for today's trauma victims and critically ill patients because of infections due to drug resistant microbes -- even after resorting to using medicines thrown out 20 years ago because of severe side effects, scientists heard today at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
