Bacteria can sneakily evade our best efforts at eradication by developing resistance to various pressures in their ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Chronic lung infections pose a disproportionate threat to older adults, yet the biological mechanisms behind age-specific ...

Researchers have unseated a previous theory for the mechanism underlying bacterial flagella movement, changing our ...

A model organism used in laboratories for the past 100 years has evolved so extensively that it may no longer be fit for purpose, according to a new study “Laboratory strains of Escherichia coli K-12: ...

Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other, building a ...
