Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how bacteria share genes—including those that spread antibiotic resistance.

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 ...

The World Health Organization estimates that antibiotic resistant infections kill more than a million people worldwide every year, so many researchers are actively looking for new ways to combat it.

Adiós pathogens! Both types of engineered cells were tested against a multidrug-resistant strain of E. coli. The larger SimCells eliminated more than 85% of the target bacteria within six hours, while ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory conditions. A critical factor, however, is whether the active substances actually ...

As antibiotic resistance continues to rise worldwide, scientists are searching for new strategies to combat infections. This latest research at Trinity Translational Medicine Institute at Trinity ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory conditions. A critical factor, however, is whether the active substances actually ...

Bacteria don’t quietly die when exposed to antibiotics – they actively respond in ways that in turn change how your body ...
