A new study from the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem sheds light on how bacterial motion influences ...

When a bacterium divides, all of the plasmids contained within the cell are copied such that each daughter cell receives a copy of each plasmid. Bacteria can also transfer plasmids to one another ...

Israeli researchers revealed on Tuesday that the way bacteria move plays a direct role in the spread of antibiotic resistance ...

Certain antibiotic-resistant infections could be treated with precision medicine in the future, thanks to a new resource mapping plasmids the ultimate vehicle of rapid bacterial evolution.

The final step in the process is to generate a double-stranded version of the plasmid using rolling ... within bacterial populations. Additionally, scientists are using artificial conjugation to study ...

The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for certain antibiotic-resistant infections, such as urinary tract infections.
