Researchers from Umeå University, Sweden, and Cornell University, USA, have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The ...

Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a leading sponsor of Lyme disease research in the United States, announced the publication of new research in PLOS Pathogens identifying a novel mechanism that may trigger ...

Researchers from Umeå University, Sweden, and Cornell University, USA, have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The ...

The bacterial cell wall must be constantly remodeled in order to grow and divide. This involves the close coordination of lytic enzymes and peptidoglycan synthesis. Researchers led by Martin ...

For millennia the arms race between bacteria and animals was fought through mutations and evolution. As modern bacteria evolve antimicrobial resistance, developing new treatments is a critical area of ...

In two recent studies, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Unilever have collaborated to develop computational models of bacterial cell walls that can speed up the screening of ...

Antibiotic resistance is considered one of the most urgent health threats of our time. Common bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus are evolving defenses against the drugs doctors rely on ...
