A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...
Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, a molecular arms race that ...
Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a ...
One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...
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 ...
University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...
Antibiotic treatments are losing effectiveness against a range of common bacterial pathogens, including E. coli, K.
