This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Cell division in bacteria is mediated by a multiprotein assembly called the divisome. A major function of this machinery is the synthesis 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 ...

Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The discovery, which may be important for research into developing ...

In the past few decades, many Gram-negative bacteria have acquired multi-drug resistance, compounding the global threat to public health. Many pathogenic bacteria, including those that cause dysentery ...
