When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

A new study finds that sharks and rays harbor several harmful bacteria, some resistant to antibiotics, raising concerns over their impact on public health.

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components -- the rotor and stators. Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...

Vibrio are a group of marine bacteria that thrive in warm, brackish waters—where fresh water mixes with seawater—like the estuaries on the coast of Florida. While most species are harmless to humans, ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

Recent research presents a novel approach to managing the risks posed by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a common yet hazardous ...

Integrons are genetic elements that capture and store gene cassettes in Vibrio species. Bioinformatic and molecular techniques show that these regions can be hotspots of phage defence systems.

Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how sodium ions power bacterial flagellar motors, providing insights for ...

To make matters worse, resistance to last-resort antibiotics is increasingly being found in some vibrio species. Experts from ...

The storms can also bring more microscopic threats. Following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Florida saw a marked rise of the Vibrio bacteria in the floodwaters. The country's septic infrastructure ...
