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

An Electric Bacteria Cable bacteria are known for their electric properties, a rare feat among bacteria. They have rod-shaped cells that connect end to end with a shared membrane, which form filaments ...

May 7, 2025 — Bacterial resistance negates the effect of antibiotics in the treatment of infection. Using mouse models, researchers now show that if antibiotics are administered with an enzyme ...

Talk about a dirty little secret. One everyday appliance — a staple of domestic hygiene — may actually be harboring microscopic nasties that no amount of disinfectant can scrub away.

Worldwide, more than 500,000 children under age 5 die each year from gastrointestinal bacterial infections, largely in communities with limited access to safe drinking water, sanitation and ...

Baltimore — Elevated levels of Legionella bacteria were detected in the water at a Baltimore City Department of Social Services office complex, a spokesperson confirmed Friday. Test results ...

Bacterial physiology is a scientific discipline that concerns the life-supporting functions and processes of bacteria, which allow bacterial cells to grow and reproduce. Microbial maximum growth ...

Bacterial genomics is a scientific discipline that concerns the genome, encompassing the entire hereditary information, of bacteria. Bacterial genomics can, for example, be used to study bacterial ...

Bacterial vaginosis is confined to an asymptomatic state in at least half of the cases. Symptomatic BV, on the other hand, is most typically accompanied by foul-smelling, profuse vaginal discharge ...

A new study has revealed a startling truth about home washing machines: they may be harboring dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacteria that survive regular wash cycles, potentially putting millions of ...

This is not sci-fi. Researchers have just found that some bacteria don’t breathe oxygen; they breathe electricity. A team of researchers led by Rice University bioscientist Caroline Ajo-Franklin just ...
