Advanced disease modeling shows some gut bacteria can spread as rapidly as viruses
New findings: gut bacteria spreading like viruses? A new wave of advanced disease modeling points to an unsettling possibility: certain gut bacteria may disseminate through populations as rapidly as some respiratory viruses. In particular, the study highlights Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a bacterium that could exhibit swifter spread than previously imagined under real-world conditions.…

How Some Gut Bacteria Like E. coli Can Spread as Fast as Viruses, New Modeling Suggests
Introduction: A Surprising Parallel Between Bacteria and Viruses In a groundbreaking line of research, scientists have used advanced disease modeling to explore how certain gut bacteria might spread through populations with speeds previously thought possible only for viruses. The focus is on Escherichia coli (E. coli), a common inhabitant of the human gut, and the…

Advanced modeling shows some gut bacteria can spread as rapidly as viruses
New insights from advanced disease modeling In a surprising development, researchers using advanced disease modeling have suggested that certain gut bacteria could spread through populations at rates comparable to some viral infections. The focus is on Escherichia coli (E. coli), a common inhabitant of the human gut whose behavior under stress or unusual conditions may…
