Bacterial infections pose significant challenges to agriculture and medicine, especially as cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to rise. In response, scientists are elucidating the ways ...

In the brutal world of deep caves, bacteria live in a miniature world of terror. The weapons they have evolved can defeat antibiotics – but now they are inspiring powerful new drugs.

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...

An international team of scientists, funded in the UK by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), has uncovered the structure of the protective protein coat which surrounds ...

Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help determine whether unfamiliar bacteria carry genetic features linked to ...

An international research team discovers additional component in staphylococcal cell wall that turns the bacterium potentially deadly. The bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidisis primarily a harmless ...

An interdisciplinary research team led by the Leibniz-HKI in Jena has discovered a new group of bioactive natural compounds in pathogenic bacteria of the genus Pandoraea: pandorabactins. They enable ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae are tiny bacteria typically known to cause lung infections. But now, a group of scientists have turned them into double agents. Genetically engineered Mycoplasma helped break ...
