Some vibrio infections can lead to necrotizing fasciitis, a serious form of bacterial infection commonly referred to as ...

Researchers have discovered how acids on the surface of bacteria give these microscopic organisms their characteristic "rod" shape—by keeping an enzyme at bay that would otherwise turn the cylindrical ...

Researchers in Leiden have, for the first time, observed how a specialized enzyme helps bacteria stay alive when oxygen levels are low, and how that process can be blocked. The study, published in ...

Some vibrio infections can lead to necrotizing fasciitis, a serious form of bacterial infection commonly referred to as "flesh-eating" disease. People who get this serious form of vibrio infection may ...

A project studying ticks collected from across the state found that just over half of the tested deer ticks had the bacteria ...

Scientists discovered that fog droplets can host living bacteria that grow and help remove harmful pollutants from the atmosphere, revealing fog as a surprisingly active microbial environment.

Living bacteria embedded in coatings could clean wastewater, capture carbon and generate biofuels – but only if they survive ...

Scientists have unlocked the vibrant colours of dinosaurs by examining microscopic fossilised structures called melanosomes.

The lab uses cryoelectron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to reveal different conformations of the efflux transporter needed to move antibiotics from inside to outside bacteria, ...
