Meet the jumbo phage. Scientists believe they’ve cracked the code on how its ‘secret handshakes’ act as a shield against the ...

Researchers have proven that antibiotic-resistant strains of a harmful bacteria thrive in a diabetic infection environment.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A unique genetic signature in bacteria can predict their likelihood of developing antibiotic resistance. This discovery focuses on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, known ...

Antibiotic resistance genes were typically isolated by cloning from cultured bacteria or by PCR amplification. Those methods missed potential antibiotic resistance reservoirs because of ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global public health crisis responsible for more than a million deaths annually. By 2050, the World Health Organization estimates it could surpass cancer and heart disease ...

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow bacteria to build resistance to drugs ... To figure this out, they teamed ...

By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistance.

Jan. 28, 2025 — New research has identified a unique genetic signature in bacteria that can predict their likelihood of developing antibiotic resistance, a finding that can help quickly identify ...

We hope to be cured when we stay in hospital. But too often, we acquire new infections there. Such 'healthcare-associated infections' (HAI) are a growing problem worldwide, taking up an estimated 6% ...
