While it is clearly informative to study 'static' samples, such as bacteria that are not alive, observing the living organism allows us to directly follow changes in the course of an organism's life, ...

Scientists have uncovered how certain E. coli bacteria in the gut promote colon cancer by binding to intestinal cells and releasing a DNA-damaging toxin. The study, published in Nature, sheds light on ...

A University of Alberta research team has identified a new drug target to treat harmful E. coli bacteria—which cause nearly ...

The E. coli cells were imaged by the London Centre for Nanotechnology at UCL. A tiny needle - just a few nanometers wide - was run over the bacterial cell, “feeling” the shape to create an image, a ...

"So, we are now colonizing that central space, and the bacterium is essentially ridding the body of the tumor." The post ...

At the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)—Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), biologist Jessie Vandierendonck has been investigating new, alternative treatments to combat bacterial infections ...

Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria or other types of microbes adapt to overcome treatments designed to eliminate them. The evolution of microbes | Immunology ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) have recently demonstrated the feasibility of using estrone-linked BODIPYs sonosensitizers for antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy ...

Scientists have found a way to use common bacteria as tiny, green chemical factories to replace a process that currently ...

Stunning images reveal for the first time how antibiotics pierce deadly bacteria’s armor. British scientists have shown how life-saving drugs called polymyxins puncture the defenses of harmful bugs.
