Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria.

The study, published today (3 April) in Nature Communications, also uncovered a plasmid found in multiple ... Multiple plasmids are often found in bacterial cells, and due to their complex genetic ...

Flexibility in the use of dynamic protein structures is a common theme in bacteria. Tubulin filaments are elementary parts of the cell-division apparatus as well as mediators of plasmid segregation.
