When bacteria are under antibiotic attack, it is not 'every man for himself.' Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and ...

Bacteria can pass proteins between themselves, which induces a dormant state that helps a small group of them survive ...

Discoveries may help to explain why some bacteria are hard to eliminate, and also point to potential future approaches to improving antibiotic effectiveness.

Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) are intestinal commensals that promote immune system development and pathogen protection through intimate attachment to the ileal epithelium. Attachment occurs via ...

Due to envelope differences between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, engineering precision bactericidal contractile nanomachines requires atomic-level understanding of their structures; ...

If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

Researchers at Umeå University have discovered that the microscopic "bubbles" released by bacteria in our body do not just drift around randomly. Instead, they use the thin protrusions of cells as a ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of cells. By systematically identifying thousands of rapidly evolving ...

Antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria, but they often leave the job incomplete, with a small group of the microbes ...

University of Queensland researchers have found that an experimental histone deacetylase 6 inhibitor can help immune cells to ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause acute and chronic infections. Responsible for many ...
