9. No escaping them: Your body has 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells. 10. Can’t catch them, either. Whipping their tails, E. coli can travel 25 times their own length in 1 second, ...

Project title: “Evolution of Polar Cell Wall Growth Across Bacterial Clades” What’s the idea?

derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists have sought to learn how the single-cell organisms survive phage infection in a bid to further ...

The process is dependent on the LecA molecule on the surface of the bacteria. Surrounded by nutrients and undetected by the immune system, the interior of a cell is the ideal place for pathogenic ...

Scientists are working out how the presence or absence of certain bacteria in kids' digestive systems affects ... the formation of regulatory T cells, which help to control immune system responses.
