When exposed to antibiotics, approximately one out of every 10 8 -10 9 bacteria develops resistance due to spontaneous ...

They focused on genes in the bacterium that interfere with the attacking virus's ability to multiply. The work is published in the journal Nature Communications. "A key to antibiotic resistance ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new ...

My colleagues and I identified a resistance gene previously undetected in the U.S. using genetic and computational methods that can help improve how scientists detect and track antimicrobial ...

A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that bacterial movement plays a central role in the transfer of ...

Even better, they discovered that lariocidin—named for its knotted, lasso-like chemical structure—has a unique mechanism of ...

To protect crops from rising droughts, scientists are looking to the genes of a small group of plants that can survive months ...

New Gene Drive Reverses Insecticide Resistance in Pests... Then Disappears Nov. 22, 2024 — Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance.

A fundamental reason for the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance is bacteria's ability to exchange genes, including the genes that make the bacteria resistant. "Bacteria that are harmful to ...
