<p>Old people who follow a Mediterranean diet are at a lower risk of cognitive decline, according to a study published in the journal <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mnfr.202300271"><em>Molecular Nutrition and Food Research</em></a>. The study provides new evidence for a better understanding of the biological mechanisms related to the impact of the diet on cognitive health in the ageing population.</p>

In a new study, published today (15 June) in Nature Communications, a multi-centre team led by the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Oslo, Imperial College London and UCL, has mapped for the first time the evolutionary timeline and population distribution of Escherichia coli’s protective outer capsule, which is responsible for the bacterium’s virulence. The study also shows how targeting the bacterium’s protective layer can help treat extraintestinal infections.

Researchers have provided new information about what drives the global spread of genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance in bacteria.
