Most mutations that decreased antibiotic susceptibility were related to specific metabolic pathways. A MIC-increase to ...

During an inspection, E. coli was found at 1,000 times the legal limit in Crosby, Texas, roughly 30 minutes northeast of Houston. Although the contaminated water isn't getting into the region's ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing ...

Twenty-three European nations have seen a rise in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections since ...

This paper addresses the important question of quantifying epistasis patterns, which affect the predictability of evolution, by reanalyzing a recently published combinatorial deep mutational scan ...

Methods: In this study, we analyzed 94,762 E. coli genome sequences obtained from the NCBI database using advanced bioinformatics tools. ARGs were identified by comparing sequences against a custom ...

This important study presents compelling observational data supporting a role for transcription and polysome accumulation in the separation of newly replicated bacterial chromosomes. The study is ...

In E. coli, the presence of certain group VIIIb transition metal compounds in concentrations of about 1–10 parts per million of the metal in the culture medium causes an inhibition of the cell ...

The water sample from the well showed contamination with E. coli and coliform bacteria, with coliform bacterial counts exceeding 16 per 100 ml of water and that of E. coli being 9 per 100 ml.

It is a common gut bacteria that never normally sees the light of day, but now Chinese scientists have engineered E coli so that it can harness sunlight like a plant. Incorporating a custom ...
