An article from Norwegian SciTech News at NTNU Uncovering the secrets of immune system invaders Some bacteria and viruses take advantage of the way our immune system works to infect us. Researchers are uncovering the mechanisms by which this trickery takes place.
An article from University of Oslo Bacterial DNA from the Black Death found in teeth Remnants of the genetic makeup of plague bacteria have been found in thousands of victims of the Black Death and the major plague epidemics at the end of the Iron Age. The DNA analyses may predict the next plague outbreak.
An article from Norwegian SciTech News at NTNU The Black Death bacteria continues to kill It took almost six months for researchers to get permission from the FBI to study the plague bacteria that, in its time, killed half of Norway’s population. Now, an antibiotic-resistant strain of the bacteria has been found.
This article was produced and financed by Norwegian Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Research New methods for fecal source tracking Fecal contamination in water is one of the most common reasons for human diseases. Molecular methods can reveal if the contaminants derive from human or animal excreta, and whether they constitute a health risk or not.

An article from Norwegian SciTech News at SINTEF On the hunt for new antibiotics An increasing number of life-threatening bacteria are becoming multi-resistant. Scientists from Norway and Denmark have united in their mission to outsmart the pathogens.
An article from University of Oslo 'We need to develop new vaccines' Scientists are in a constant arms race against pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Their goal is to develop vaccines that will last throughout our lives.

An article from NordForsk A microorganism's day at work A bacterium cultivated in the highlands of Bolivia meets a microorganism from an alkaline lake in Kenya. Together they create a team of billions of tireless workers that provide humans with fuel for our vehicles or plastic bags to carry our groceries.

This article was produced and financed by Nofima The Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Eradicating the spores Spore-forming bacteria are one of the greatest microbial challenges to food safety in ready meals, and a single heat treatment at 70–80° C can in fact stimulate the growth of certain bacteria. But could a double heat treatment of ready meals increase the safety?
