In the microscopic battlefield of plant-microbe interactions, plants are constantly fighting off invading bacteria. New ...

The study shows that in liquid environments, where bacteria rely on movement to navigate, the rotation of flagella acts as a mechanical signal that turns on a set of genes required for DNA transfer.

Researchers have identified a new way to fight infections like Lyme disease and syphilis by disrupting the bacteria's "motor," preventing it from spreading through the body. The findings could ...

New research reveals just how clever these bacterial invaders can be. Plants, like humans, have evolved sophisticated immune systems to detect pathogens ... in bacterial flagella -- the whip ...
