Physicians have relied on a class of antibiotics called polymyxins to fight potentially life-threatening Gram-negative bacterial infections for more than 80 years. These drugs are typically reserved ...

Our bodies are a constant battlefield between pathogens and our immune system. But beyond this battle, there’s a larger war being fought between humans and drug-resistant bacteria. When antibiotics ...

Using a clustering algorithm and machine learning, a team of researchers analyzed 15,000 images of nearly 125 Clostridium thermocellum bacteria. The result is data-rich pictures showing the location ...

The way antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armour of bacteria has been revealed in stunning detail by high-resolution microscopy, which could help us develop new treatments for drug-resistant ...

Bacteria created using mirror images of natural biomolecules would pose a grave threat to life on Earth, some researchers ...

Microscopy images of bacteria strains, one, top, producing fimbriae as normal and one with high level of MEcPP unable to produce the fimbriae. If your teeth have ever felt fuzzy after skipping a ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...
