Anupam Sengupta and his team explained this by zooming into the growth ... a synchronous active hydrodynamic cascade that ultimately drives enhanced local transport around the confluent bacterial ...

This will favor synchronous development ... Because of their faster growth rate, the bacteria initially produce a confluent lawn, and the amoebae subsequently 'clear' the plate of the bacteria.

Researchers have found a bacteriocin that can help inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing global problem. Part of the ...

Antibiotics strong enough to kill off gut bacteria can also stop the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus, a section of the brain associated with memory, reports a new study in mice.

When they tested the antibiotic on the skin of mice that were experimentally infected with the superbug, it controlled the growth of the bacteria, suggesting that the method could be used to ...

The researchers suggest that eating more fiber in our diet will support the growth of good bacteria - and crowd out the bad ones to significantly reduce the risk of illness. In contrast ...
