Researchers revealed the atomic-level mechanism bacteria like A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa use to build antibiotic-resistant 3D biofilms, opening new paths to fight multidrug-resistant infections.

The study team included, back row, from left, graduate student Rebecca Ulrich; chemistry professor Paul Hergenrother; Chris Fields, of Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center, research scientist Po-Chao ...

Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the structure of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause life-threatening infections linked to antibiotic resistance. The King's College London team behind the ...

Antibiotic resistance represents a major public health challenge, associated with a high mortality rate. While bacteriophages -- viruses that kill bacteria -- could be a solution for fighting ...

Scientists have pinpointed the enzyme YcaO as responsible for a rare ribosomal protein modification in several pathogenic bacteria, a process absent in humans. The finding could open new avenues for ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria from proliferating. The study is published in the journal Microbiome.

AMES, Iowa – A research team led by Edward Yu of Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory has discovered the crystal structures of pumps that remove heavy metal toxins from bacteria, making them ...

During infection, pathogens must adapt quickly to the conditions to thrive inside the body. A research team at the University ...

How are bacterial pathogens able to effectively overcome plants' defense mechanisms? Researchers working with Professor Şuayb ...
