Project title: “Evolution of Polar Cell Wall Growth Across Bacterial Clades” What’s the idea?

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel extracorporeal blood purification technology that captures and ...

Once established in the lungs, the bacteria's thick cell wall helps it to fight off the host immune system. Much of that cell wall is made from complex sugar molecules known as glycans ...

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful ...

Living emulsions, which incorporate active bacteria into oil–water multiphase systems, represent an innovative integration of microbiology and colloid science. The active role of living species offers ...

As concerns about waning antibiotic effectiveness grow, researchers are using unique tools to search for new ways to keep bacteria from causing infections in both humans and animals. "We're really ...

Not all cell walls are created equal. Take the peculiar makeup of the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium’s cell wall. It might play a role in lingering symptoms of Lyme disease — the most common ...

A propagating mechanism helps Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria adopt a competent state that allows them to resist antibiotic ...

Scientists led by Karla Satchell, Ph.D., the Anne Stewart Youmans Professor of Microbiology at Northwestern University, have discovered previously unknown molecular mechanisms that help a type of food ...
