A new drug conjugate tricks Gram-negative bacteria into succumbing to an antibiotic that usually works only against Gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative bacterial infections are tough to treat ...

Gram-negative bacteria pose a significant threat to global health due to their high resistance to antibiotics compared to that of Gram-positive bacteria. Their formidable defensive capabilities stem ...

The emergence of multi-drug resistance bacteria and healthcare-associated infections are frequent issues in the treatment of suppurating wounds. A group of researchers has created a bactericidal ...

A team of Princeton researchers led by Prof. Zemer Gitai have found an antibiotic that can simultaneously puncture bacterial walls and destroy folate within their cells -- taking out even monstrous ...

Infectious bacteria are growing increasingly resistant to drugs, which is becoming a serious threat to public health worldwide. Bacteria can be classified based on various characteristics, such as by ...

Clostridium perfringens is a spore-forming bacteria that can function without oxygen (anaerobic bacteria). These gram-positive bacteria are typically found in human and animal intestines. Bacteria are ...

Gram-negative meningitis is a form of meningitis. The term gram-negative refers to a way of differentiating bacteria. This type of bacteria is typically resistant to drugs and most available ...

With delicate hues of purple and pink, a lab technique called gram staining has reliably characterized bacteria for more than a century. Yet many scientists are mistaken about why the vivid method ...
