(Phys.org)—One of the remarkable properties of bacterial colonies is the self-ordering aggregation and orientation of bacterial cells. Bacteria secrete extracellular polymeric substances (EPS ...

Scientists have developed a model of the outer membrane of the bacteria E. coli providing a brand new tool for developing new antibiotics and other drugs in the fight against infections. Disease ...

Biofilms form when microorganisms such as certain types of bacteria adhere to the surface of objects in a moist environment and begin to reproduce resulting in the excretion of a slimy glue-like ...

To address this gap in understanding, Cai and his collaborators used a mouse model of breast cancer with significant amounts of bacteria inside cells, “resembling that in human breast cancer ...

The recent rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious public health threat, and there is a need for new therapeutic strategies to combat these infections. A study published by Cell Press on ...

Trying to predict how bacteria will spread is like predicting the flight of a leaf in a windstorm—it's a complicated and chaotic business. Factor in bacteria's encounters with objects such as ...

Understanding and controlling how bacteria move through obstacle-filled environments has long been a challenge. A new model developed by a scientist at the Flatiron Institute can predict how ...
