Antibiotic resistance, when infection-causing bacteria evolve so they are no longer affected by typical antibiotics, is a global concern. New research at the University of Tokyo has mapped the ...
Most bacteria replicate quickly. For example, Escherichia coli double their number in just 20 minutes. If the bacteria are infectious human pathogens, such rapid replication can be problematic. But ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through ...

The Antibiotic Arms Race: Can Science Stay Ahead of Rapidly Evolving Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria?
Imagine a world where life-saving antibiotics no longer work. That could soon become a reality, as shown by a recent study published in Nature Microbiology. A team of Hungarian scientists investigated ...

Human skin is home to millions of microbes. One of these microbes, Staphylococcus aureus, is an opportunistic pathogen that can invade patches of skin affected by eczema, also known as atopic ...
