Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail.

With technical advances in the field of cryo-electron microscopy, it is now possible to determine structures of such complexes at atomic resolution. It’s always exciting to discover something new, ...

They are gram positive bacteria that are small round in shape (cocci) and occur as clusters appearing like a bunch of grapes on electron microscopy. Microbiology of Staphylococcus:- ...

Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high ...

Caption This is an electron micrograph of a human neutrophil ingesting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (purple), a key form of antimicrobial resistance research NIAID is pursuing.

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...

By presenting the Staphylococcus ribosome structure in HD cryo-electron microscopy the researchers have significantly advanced in their work - the one which is of great significance for medicine ...

They introduced S. aureus cells to these structures, gave the cells time to stick, and then rinsed the structures with deionized water to remove all but the most solidly bound bacteria. Scanning ...

This 2005 scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted numerous clumps of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, commonly referred to by the acronym, MRSA; Magnified 9560x.

In a recent study, researchers found that FusB—a resistance protein identified in clinically resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus —can shield ribosomes from the effects of fusidic acid.

This scanning electron micrograph depicts a grouping of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. These S. aureus bacteria are from one of the first isolates in the U.S. that ...
