These bacteria don’t eat food or breathe air like we do. All they need is to complete a circuit; that’s enough for them to ...

University of Basel (Switzerland) and University Hospital Basel researchers discovered 35 unknown bacterial pathogens in blood or tissue samples, including seven that caused clinical infections. The ...

E. coli strains from meat products might be responsible for up to 640,000 urinary tract infections in the U.S. every year, according to a new study from researchers at George Washington University in ...

When bacteria build communities, they cooperate and share nutrients across generations. Researchers have been able to demonstrate this for the first time using a newly developed method. This ...

New CU Boulder research shows that bacteria harness physical laws to operate at the edge of chaos and use calcium to independently diversify and find a place to settle down Let’s talk about the ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...

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

Bacteria talk to each other using N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum sensing (QS) signals. This signaling allows the bacteria to control gene expression of virulence factors and biofilms once ...
