In the 20th century, when a routine infection was treated with a standard antibiotic, recovery was expected. But over time, ...

Researchers discovered lariocidin, a lasso peptide antibiotic that kills multidrug-resistant bacteria by binding a novel ...

Drexel researchers have developed a simple DNA PCR-based lab test — built on a more detailed genetic analysis of the main ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in the accuracy and speed at which often deadly pathogen infections can be ...

It is becoming increasingly evident that genome-sequence changes have an impact on the pathogenic potential and host tropism of many bacterial pathogens 10. With the availability of complete ...

University of Toronto researchers have discovered nine new genes used by bacteria to protect themselves against ...

Crucially, CRISPR systems can only destroy DNA that matches a "memory" captured from a prior infection and stored within the ...

To adapt to changing environmental pressures, bacteria have developed various methods that allow them to uptake exogenous DNA and incorporate it into their own genomes. One of these processes is ...
