Researchers at Aarhus University have discovered that bacteria can continue producing DNA after they die. And they have found ...

A self-made bacterial hydrogel can push cells from dying biofilms and may offer a new path for disrupting resistant ...

Biofilms are conglomerates of bacteria and other organisms, which are feared in medicine as well as other areas because they can contain pathogens and are highly resistant to treatment. Chemists at ...

Bacteria come in a surprising variety of shapes. In addition to rod-shaped representatives such as the widely known model bacterium E. coli, there are numerous curved and even spiral-shaped bacteria.

Scientists have discovered the mechanism by which the bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri, the causative agent of dysentery, manipulates molecular activity to assure its survival against its host's ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

“Penicillin, vancomycin, tetracycline — with all of these antibiotics, it wasn’t some clever medicinal chemist who discovered them, it was nature,” says Andrew M. Gulick, PhD, professor of structural ...

Researchers found a bacterial enzyme that degrades polyester bioplastic and cleaves penicillin, hinting at faster microbial adaptation to plastic.
