Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...

Despite rapid advances in reading the genetic code of living organisms, scientists still face a major challenge today—knowing ...

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the deadly drug-resistant bacteria NDM-CRE found a 70% ...

Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified a key molecular player that helps bacteria survive the hostile environment ...

Antimicrobial resistance occurs when pathogens such as bacteria develop the ability to resist the drugs designed to kill them. Now, UK researchers have uncovered the mechanism underpinning antibiotic ...

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

Antibiotic resistance continues to be a worldwide problem. Researchers are use AI computer modeling to help design new compounds. The Conversation — Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health ...

Researchers have identified a gut-genetic interaction that could trigger an overactive immune response in the colon — offering one possible explanation for the pain and bleeding of ulcerative colitis, ...
