gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-29 18:35:14

A new species of bacteria has come to light in Brazil. It’s genetically similar to two other disease-causing bacteria from the Andes, which are known to infect humans through sand fly bites. According to a study published this summer in the journal Acta Tropica, researchers have discovered a new bacteria species in phlebotomine insects (sand flies) in the Amazon National Park in Brazil’s state of Pará.

Some Heart Attacks Might Be Triggered by Germs

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-31 02:30:27

Germs might be even worse for us than we thought. New research suggests that certain infections could be a contributing factor to heart attacks. Scientists in Finland and the UK conducted the study, which examined arterial plaques taken from people who died from heart disease and others. They found these plaques often contained a dormant layer of bacterial biofilm; they also found evidence that bacteria released from this biofilm can then trigger heart attacks. Though not yet definitive, the st

The team members went through a process of incrementally determining what elements and molecules the bacterial strain could grow on.
