Scientists have documented a notable case of antibiotic resistance evolving within a critically ill patient during treatment ...

In Escherichia coli (E. coli), a widely studied model organism important to biotechnology and microbiology, IS transposition occurs typically once per year (or every few thousand generations).

These are described by thousands of interlinked equations, yielding blueprints for bacteria that have 40% fewer genes than wild-type E. coli.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a common bacterium that lives in the intestines of animals and humans, and it is often used to identify fecal contamination within the environment. E. coli can also ...
