Researchers led by Imperial College London have uncovered new insights into how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. Understanding the molecular basis of bacterial ...

We have some tools to control bacteria, like antibiotics, but antibiotic resistance is a growing problem that is a threat to public health... | Microbiology ...

The ever-diverse fungi play several key roles in our day–to–day life. From facilitating ecological nutrient cycling, to being used in industrial manufacturing and being a key ingredient in our food, ...

Researchers have uncovered new details about how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. One of the primary ways harmful bacteria acquire resistance to antibiotics is by ...

In a recent study published in the iScience journal, researchers assessed the efficiency of immunization with a bacterial peptide conjugated to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

Conjugation has classically been considered a bacterium-to-bacterium DNA transfer driven by the donor cell and is typically plasmid-encoded. Theoretically it is possible that any type of cell can ...

Attachment of a bacterial protein to the tips of phage tails produces non-infectious, tailless phages. “Many of these bacterial systems have been shown to be the evolutionary origin of different human ...

In the Herman Lab, we set out to exploit the speed and power of bacterial genetics to understand the interactions between transcription, core transcription factors, and genome maintenance.

Researchers have imaged a major component in conjugation—the process bacteria use to share DNA with each other. During conjugation, bacteria can exchange genetic information in the form of special ...

Researchers have uncovered new details about how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. Researchers have uncovered new details about how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA ...
