Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures—called flagella—that spin around to propel themselves ... is involved in infections and toxicity of some species of pathogenic bacteria.

A University of Massachusetts Amherst-Ernest Pharmaceuticals team of scientists has made "exciting," patient-friendly advances in developing a non-toxic ... it was the bacterial flagella—part ...

Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella ... This change allowed the non-motile bacteria to "hitchhike" on other bacteria ...

Researchers are trying to understand why resistant pathogens are so prevalent in the war-torn nations of the Middle East. A 25-year-old patient at the Specialized Burns Hospital in Baghdad’s ...

by taking advantage of the differences in the Lol systems of pathogenic and non-pathogenic gram-negative bacteria, the research team succeeded in developing an antibiotic that targets only the ...

Formation of flagella in distilled ... kept in tubes containing non-nutrient agar with 1% (w/v) of Difco agar in Page saline solution at 4ºC under moist conditions were maintained for several months.

The new work, published today in Science Advances, marks a major step forward in efforts to enlist non-pathogenic bacteria to combat cancer. Scientists have known for years that some species of ...

No pathogenic bacteria (that causes disease) was found in the brushes or the sponges. However, overall bacteria levels were lower in used brushes than sponges. Similar types of non-pathogenic ...
