Identification of microbes joins together the discipline of microbiology with the study of infectious diseases. Methods of reliable and accurate microbial identification are valuable to a wide range ...

Why is it important to study bacteria? Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterial strain that can be responsible for several human diseases: the most serious include malignant external otitis, ...

A team of researchers from Stanford University has employed laser technology to identify bacteria in a drop of blood, mucus, wastewater, and other fluids in just a matter of minutes. "We can find out ...

Researchers have optimized a new technique that will allow scientists to evaluate how potential inhibitors work on antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This technique, called native state mass spectrometry, ...

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

We use experimental taphonomy of embryos and larvae to determine the mechanisms by which endogenous bacteria stabilize rather than destroy soft tissues. Here, we show that bacteria can rapidly move ...
