A team from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology has discovered a new class of bacterial mobile genetic elements that use giant viruses—known as jumbo phages—to move between cells. The ...

Bacteria often experience nutrient limitation. While the exponential and stationary growth phases have been characterized in ...

BEVs carry diverse molecular cargo that offers non-invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring of PCOS and ...

As "superbugs" continue to surge, the World Health Organization is now warning that one in every six bacterial infections are resistant to antibiotics. WHO also called for antibiotic medications to be ...

Researchers have found a way to make synthetic viruses that can kill bacteria. They hope to use the method to develop a new treatment for dangerous infections. Using an AI model trained on ...

A new study from the CDC found that infection rates for a drug-resistant “nightmare bacteria” are on the rise, increasing nearly 70% between 2019 and 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the NDM ...

Researchers have revealed how polymyxins, crucial last-resort antibiotics, break down bacterial armor by forcing cells to overproduce and shed it. Astonishingly, the drugs only kill bacteria when they ...

They cultured six bacterial species in 195 different nutrient environments (media) and profiled their growth, generating 4,680 quantitative indices based on two parameters: growth rate and population ...

David Ramotowski receives funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIEHS P42ES013661) and previously from the University of Iowa Post-Comprehensive Fellowship. Unfortunately, banned isn’t the ...
