Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

Discover how Listeria bacteria communicate to develop antibiotic resistance and the implications for future drug development.

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...

New research shows that the gene PTPN2 helps regulate gut bacteria and plays a key role in protecting the body from excessive inflammation. Scientists at the, Riverside, are uncovering how a single ge ...

Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat made worse by the increasing resistance of the microbes to antibiotic treatments. This is due in part to the ability of ...
