Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the structure of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause life-threatening infections ...

Scientists have uncovered how graphene oxide pulls off a remarkable trick: it hunts down and destroys harmful bacteria while ...

Researchers have now developed a new single-cell genome technique to understand how bacteria interact and exchange genetic material, including antibiotic resistance genes at the individual cell level.

Researchers at Durham have helped unlock a new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides—the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever reaches the interior. That is the central finding behind SNIPE, a newly ...

Are all bacterial cells in a group alike? It doesn't seem so. A population of bacterial cells may be heteroresistant, which is to say that some may be able to evade the effects of antibiotics, while ...

Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden published a study “Breaking barriers: pCF10 type 4 secretion system relies on a self-regulating muramidase to modulate the cell wall” in mBIO that describes ...
