“We haven’t had a robust understanding of how properties of the environment and cell motility influence bacterial dispersion.

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new ...

Microbial organisms dominate life on Earth, but tracing their early history and evolution is difficult because they rarely ...

Saccharin destabilizes bacterial membranes and interferes with DNA replication, causing lysis and impairing virulence traits.

Protein degradation in the cell can be carried ... effectively broke apart bacterial membranes, a key feature of AMPs 4. In vivo studies using mice as a model to study infections, such as ...

Bacterial cells can "remember ... in yeast and the multiplicity of cell types in higher organisms. Because E. coli is a well-studied model organism, we know the organization of the gene regulatory ...

This important study analyzes the effect of heat treatment on phage-bacterial interactions and convincingly shows that prior heat exposure alters the bacterial cell envelope, enhancing persistence and ...
