A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

The study also opens the door to new kinds of treatments that do not rely solely on antibiotics. Some of the surviving bacteria are fragile in specific ways, especially in their outer membranes.

Now losing their battle against humanity, bacteria appear to be taking the "evolve or die" mandate seriously, adapting in pace with antibiotic development. Bacteria resistant to antibiotics kill tens ...

A National Taiwan University study reveals how intracellular bacteria co-opt mitochondrial transporters to evade immune ...

A simple theoretical model seeks to explain why bacteria remain roughly the same size and shape. The work by chemists could offer new insight into diseases, including cancer. Fat bacteria? Skinny ...

The facultative intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, like many related Firmicutes, uses the nucleotide second messenger cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) to adapt to changes in nutrient availability, ...

Fat bacteria? Skinny bacteria? From our perspective on high, they all seem to be about the same size. In fact, they are. Precisely why has been an open question, according to Rice University chemist ...

An ongoing study led by researchers at Cedars-Sinai is investigating the relationship between our gut microbiome and the development of type 2 diabetes. Early data from the study indicates bacteria ...

Scientists have shown that the presence of both immune-suppressive and non-suppressive bacteria in the plant root microbiota is crucial to strike a balance between plant growth and plant defense, and ...

HOUSTON - (Oct. 6, 2020) - Fat bacteria? Skinny bacteria? From our perspective on high, they all seem to be about the same size. In fact, they are. Precisely why has been an open question, according ...
